Woman Fined £30 for Asking Cop for Directions
A lone woman driver who got lost on a motorway was fined £30 for stopping on the hard shoulder to ask a traffic cop directions.
Rachael Farthing was driving at night when she became confused by road signs and decided to pull over next to a parked police car and seek advice.
But she was amazed when the officer demanded her licence and then booked her. After issuing her with a £30 fixed penalty notice, he gave her directions and sent the mum-of-one on her way.
Rachael, 44, said: “I was lost, I was on my own, it was dark and I was a real damsel in distress.
“I’m furious and feel this policeman acted completely unreasonably.
“Whatever happened to the helpful British bobby?”
