45-minute parking cost the driver 7.8 thousand dollars (1 photo)

Due to a software error, the parking meter thought the car had been parked there for three years



The most expensive parking lot in Los Angeles has been discovered, where 45 minutes are equivalent to several years. According to the local CBS News, Kate Daniels parked her car for 45 minutes at Glendale Memorial Hospital, and when she tried to pay for parking, the parking meter charged her $7,829. It turned out that due to a glitch, the system decided that the car had been in the parking lot for three years.

According to Daniels, she had to prove her case to the parking attendant, and it took a while to convince him. Moreover, the woman found out that this was not the first such case in the hospital parking lot - at least several people had previously received absurd payment receipts.

The Parking Company of America, which services the parking lot, acknowledged the driver's innocence, but it took a week for Kate Daniels to get her money back. They promised to replace the faulty parking meter.
