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
I seem to recall Red Herring challenge one of these tickets, as these are designated as 'Rest Areas' he did what you did and had a kip in his camper van. That's the whole point of motorway rest areas, it's for tired drivers.

Let them take you to court.
