Road cops in Glasgow have slammed a driver's 'selfish and illegal' parking.
Officers say they spotted a motor allegedly parked on a crossing on Duke Street in the East End on Wednesday, May 29.
According to the force, the motorist's actions 'severely impacted' the 'safe space' that the crossing provides - especially for vulnerable pedestrians such as children.
Hitting out at the road users' parking spot, cops said parking on a 'zig-zag' area is 'selfish' and 'illegal.
Due to this, the driver was handed three penalty points and a £100 fine.
