00:00Not that I park anywhere, but by the sound of it, yes, there's been a number of stories

00:06on television.

00:08I don't have a car in Bristol at the moment, and I haven't heard much about this so I can't

00:15really comment.

00:16Obviously, I hope the regulation's good, because it's really annoying when you get a fine.

00:21I think a couple of my housemates have been kind of annoyed when they've had fines, I

00:25think, but yeah.

00:26I've had any unfair parking charges.

00:28Sometimes it's not very clearly signposted, I find, so I've been caught out just by making

00:32a mistake.

00:33I don't know.

00:34Parking fines are just a means of making more money, aren't they?

00:38It would be better if we had a city that wasn't so focused on cars generally.

00:43It would be nicer if there is a place, if we need to have cars around that actually

00:49there are better places for them to park, you know, but no, I don't believe parking

00:55fines are, I think they probably are too quick to give them out because it's a means

00:59of making money.
