Woman with type 1 diabetes who treated hypo receives parking fine (23 Jan 2018 )
"A woman with type 1 diabetes has spoken out after being given a parking fine due to an episode of hypoglycaemia.
Vensa Hausmeister, from Norfolk, returned to her car after shopping on 11 December last year but was unable to drive straightaway because she was suffering a hypo (low blood sugar).
By the time Mrs Hausmeister felt safe to get behind the wheel she had exceeded the free parking time frame of two hours and was issued with a £70 fine, reduced to £40 if payable within two weeks.
The 59-year-old said she was "furious" after the firm responsible for the city's Cathedral Retail Park car park refused to overturn the parking charge."
