RSSA woman in the Austrian city of Graz has had to go to jail for 500 days, for ignoring parking tickets. The authorities said they had tried to contact the woman no less than 700 times over a period of two years for her various parking offences and total fines of €24,000. These attempts to contact the woman were ignored however so the authorities took the unprecedented step of jailing her. Her sentence is being split into 42 day sections and it is not clear where her car will be parked or whether she is being let out to move it at regular intervals.
