Councils so far in Wokingham, South Hampshire, Broadland, South Suffolk, and West Devon have all banned popular vehicles if they are longer than five metres.
\nData from Autocar revealed that 357,000 penalty charge notices had been handed out for vehicles that were parked outside of marked bays since 2018.<\/p>\n
As a result of the long vehicles, drivers across the country have collectively been slapped with around \u00a38million in fines for being too long for parking bay limits.
\nSome experts have predicted that other councils could follow suit and place restrictions on larger vehicles in the future to crack down on parking infringements.<\/p>\n
