A woman has been fined by police after parking her car across a roundabout exit.

Officers photographed the motorist as she parked the grey Lexus and then appeared to step out to get something from the back seat.

Police had been at Swanshurst School in Birmingham when they spotted the unorthodox - and illegal - parking.

And the woman in the photos was apparently not the only one caught.

Officers posted photos on Twitter and wrote: "Today we have been at Swanshurst School whilst there we have come across parents badly parking their cars around the island.


"A parent was advised why parking across an island exit was wrong, as they felt they could park there.

Twitter users replied, some criticising the lack of police enforcement, some saying such law-breaking had been going on "for years".
