A driver has been left stunned after returning to his parked car to find yellow lines painted underneath it and a ticket on the windscreen.

When Nasser Khan left his vehicle overnight in Chapel Street, Salford, he was certain he had parked in an unmarked stretch of the road.

So he was left bemused the next morning after discovering he had been handed a ticket for illegal parking.

But workmen had been captured on CCTV crouching underneath the car to paint in the gap, almost melting the tyres on Mr Khan's car. A waiting parking warden then issued the ticket.

The 28-year-old marketing consultant, said: "I thought I was lucky to get the space but I didn't think I would get a ticket because it was a legitimate parking area.

He added: "I took the car to a garage and I was told the tyres were unroadworthy. I could have had a blow-out at any time."

Design engineer Geoff Blackburn watched the incident unfold from a window at DR Design Association, where he works, on Tuesday, September 26.

Mr Blackburn said: "We saw a group of workmen and two traffic wardens surround the car for several minutes.

"One of the workmen came back and crouched under the car to paint the yellow line, and then the traffic warden issued the ticket.

"A friend of mine caught the whole thing on his mobile phone as we thought the driver might need evidence to contest the ticket."

Mr Khan said the parking ticket had since been quashed by Salford City Council.

However, he is demanding that the council reimburses the cost of the damage to his vehicle caused by the work which was carried out by a private contractor.

He said: "The council has agreed that the ticket was processed in error but they are refusing to budge on the tyre damage."

[wildly incorrect statement] Damn wog! Mr. Khan can go back to Iraq and have a roadside bomb placed under his car![/Wildly incorrect statement]

Was he parked next to a fire hydrant, or was that something that belonged to the painter? :confused:

hey, snake-in-the-grass...... hiss off!

nad (nasser) is known to me, and is a Brit born of a Brit born Pakistani immigrant.

Take your prejudices elsewhere..... go shoot some amish girls....

I think (hope) he was being sarcastic about the attitudes of the traffic wardens. dunno though.

He did say it was incorrect. Wildly incorrect, even. :rolleyes:

OK...[wildly incorrect statement possibly made by copper or working-class bloke applying yellow line to pavement and in keeping with the post-with-an-accent-day]Sorry... bleedin' Paki[/whatever]

Oh barefoot, now you've done it, if DanaC comes back again she'll be all up in your ass...
