Merseyside PoliceA learner driver and his instructor who parked on double yellow lines because the student wanted to go to a shop have registered a total failure – after police spotted them and fined them.
Officers were on patrol in Liverpool city center when they spotted a vehicle with L plates on London Road on Saturday.
In a social media post, Merseyside Police said: “Both were dealt with for obstructing the live lane and footway as the learner went into the shop.”
The officers’ response won support from local residents, with one commenting: “It’s certainly a lesson learned.”
