A mother is going viral with her rants after receiving a fine for letting her child ride her bike in a car park area recently.
According to media reports, the mum claims the incident was highly unfair because the car park area where her daughter rode the bike was actually closed. It belonged to a pub that was currently shut due to the pandemic.
Identified as Tracy Smith, she told local media outlets how she never thought twice before letting her young daughter ride around Wetherspoon Car Park. In fact, she found the decision to be rather safe and secure, with no harm involved. But little did she know about the huge fine in-store.
As young Elsie cycled around freely across Green Parrot car parking of Perranporth, the mum spoke about her sudden rude awakening.
And that’s when officials hit her with a massive fine worth $100 or 75 pounds. According to Euro Car Parks who handle the parking operations in that area, the mum parked her car in the parking lot without paying for a ticket.
Tracy who recently lost her job due to the adverse effects of the pandemic mentioned how it was really sad and unfair to see such things taking place. “In these trying times, communities should actually be putting their heads together and providing relief to citizens. But here, it’s a different matter altogether. People are losing jobs, yet big companies are still trying to make the most by rinsing in,” she added.
The mum mentioned how she and her husband were currently jobless. And since the pub was closed, they thought it would be a nice idea to let their daughter have a little fresh air and exercise with bike riding too. “The car park is a very safe and ideal place because it was unused,” added the mum.
“We were fined for spending time worth 30 minutes or even less. It’s absolutely disgusting in these trying times,” she exclaimed.
