Following on from our story about car owners getting driven to distraction by over-zealous parking operator at a Didcot car park...
The website moneysavingexpert.com has written a guide showing how easily drivers can fall into the trap of paying tickets from private operators when they don't necessarily have to.
Driven to distraction by parking tickets
Parking operators are being over-zealous when it comes to issuing tickets at a car park in Didcot, according to a number of people who've taken to social media to express their frustration.

Many feel they've been unfairly fined at the Premier Parking Solutions run car-park opposite the railway station.
We asked Premier Parking Solutions to comment, but have not heard back from them.
Unlike traditional tags, the new devices track the offender's movement at all times.
The force confirmed it's used one of these tags on a 15-year-old who's been convicted of a series of offences - including burglary, robbery, threatening a 14-year-old girl in Oxford and brandishing an imitation firearm in the street in Didcot.
He'll have to wear the tag at all times, for six months.
