A man says he uses ChatGPT to help win a long-running dispute over a parking penalty, overturning a three-year case related to a £100 fine. The reports describe how he sought guidance from the AI tool and used it in his challenge against the ticket.
The man, identified as Rafal Goral, says he received the £100 penalty for failing to pay within the required timeframe at a pay-and-display car park in Newquay, Cornwall, in 2023. Outlets focus on the same basic timeline and the use of ChatGPT, though they vary in emphasis, with some highlighting the “lawyer” framing and others stressing the outcome of the dispute rather than the method.
