Workman paints yellow line under car

Ananova:

A man was stunned to get a ticket for parking on a yellow line which wasn't there when he left his car.

When Nasser Khan parked his car there was a gap in the lines. On his return a council workman had painted a yellow line under his car and a traffic warden had given him a ticket.
The incident in Salford, Manchester, was captured on camera by an office worker based nearby.
Mr Khan, 28, a 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.

"I couldn't believe they painted the line underneath my vehicle.
"Luckily I had a note on my windscreen from the guys in the nearby office which explained what had happened, otherwise I would have driven off unaware."
He said the machinery used to mark the line had melted the tyres of his Toyota MR2 which forced him to spend £550 on a new set.
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."

Mr Khan said the parking ticket had since been quashed by Salford City Council.
However, he is also demanding that the council reimburses the cost of the damage to his vehicle caused by the work carried out by a private contractor.
