TIRED driver Emma Faulkner pulled into a service station for a nap - and was slapped with an £80 fine.

The 24-year-old motorist was heading home from London to Preston and stopped for a break just before 1am at the near-empty car park of Lymm Services on the M6 in Cheshire.

Well worn subject on PH -re private car parks -opinion is that the contract is between driver and company -not owner ,and that if owner disputes driver -the car park have to prove otherwise . Any SS legal eagle confirm ??
