Swedish snowmobile gets UK ticket

A Swedish mechanic said he will not pay a parking ticket that claims his snowmobile was illegally parked in Britain this summer.

Krister Nylander said he received a ticket from a British company ordering him to pay a £90 fine for an alleged parking violation in Warwick.

Nylander, who lives on a farm in Bollstabruk, 205 miles north of Stockholm, said he has never been to Warwick and neither has his snowmobile.

"The snowmobile is parked in my barn," Nylander said. "It has never left Sweden."

He said the ticket from London-based company Euro Parking Collection claims his snowmobile was parked illegally in Warwick for three hours on June 22.

All information in the ticket is correct, such as the make of the snowmobile and the licence plate number
