I had a coffee and a mars and kept going to arrive home at 7 am
Today I received a letter containing a fine for being parked for more than 2h at the rest area. 100£, if I knew taking a rest would be so expensive I'd get an hotel room because keep driving with the risk of falling sleep wasn't an option

tell them your circumstances and if they continue to fine you then go to court. you needed a rest and without that rest you could have crashed. after all those "take a break" "dont drive tired" sings are there for a reason.
