Daughter called at 7pm tonight saying she couldn’t start her car. Over the phone prognosis suggested a likely flat battery, so I hop in the car to meet where she was parked to jump start and get her on her way.
Car started with a jump start but the battery was so flat the power steering would cut power and stall the car when the steering wheel was turned. Tried to idle for a while to get some juice into the battery but it wouldn’t hold enough charge.
Too late to get a new battery so had to leave the car there … will pickup a new battery first thing in the morning and replace.
The only problem is that the car is parked in a lane that is a bike lane from 7:30am-9:30am, and there’s no way I can get there before then with the new battery, so she will get a fine which we’ll have to appeal.
My previous dealings with councils tells me that they won’t budge and will enforce the fine.

Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
