Traffic tickets from the first second: drivers feel harassed by the regulatory authorities. Because he brought crates of water to his sick parents while standing in a no-parking zone, a man from Rodgau in Hesse is due a fine of 55 euros.

A driver described a similar situation on Heidelberger Straße in Nieder-Roden via email. She also unloaded her purchases for four minutes - but a parking ticket still landed in her mailbox. In the end she paid 83.50 euros.
