A learner driver and their instructor who parked on double yellow lines because the student wanted to visit a shop have registered a complete fail – after they were spotted by police and fined.
Officers were on patrol in Liverpool city centre when they noticed the vehicle with its L plates parked up in London Road on Saturday.
In a social media post, Merseyside Police said: “Both were dealt with for obstruction of the live lane and footway while the learner went to the shop.”
The officers’ response drew support from local residents, with one commenting: “That’s certainly a lesson learnt.”
