A VIDEO on social media has caught the shocking moment six parking tickets were handed out to cars on the same street.
The video highlights why drivers need to make the right checks before assuming it’s free to park.
The footage was uploaded to TikTok by user @pezizlove54 and shows a line of cars parked on a single yellow line.
The video has the description: ‘Apparently they all assumed Boxing Day was a Bank Holiday. #onlyintheUK.’

There are seven cars in total, but one looks to have avoided a ticket because it has a disabled blue badge displayed on its dashboard.
Despite the video’s description, Boxing Day is a Bank Holiday in the UK.
However, drivers still need to check the local parking restrictions with their councils, especially when parking on a single yellow.
It being Boxing day doesn’t automatically mean you can park where you want, as these six drivers found out.
People seemed clued up in the comments and had little sympathy for the drivers.
One said: “It is a bank holiday, but bank holiday does not mean free parking.
“Depends on what the terms are in the area.”
Another said: “It is a bank holiday however parking restrictions don’t recognise bank holiday unless otherwise stated.”
While a third said: “It was a bank holiday but single yellows have the same rules even on a bank holiday.”
