We've all had a moan about how expensive it is to pick up or drop off loved ones at Manchester Airport.
With the summer holidays well underway, everyone is again being reminded how much it costs to enter the sacred grounds of terminals one, two and three.
But perhaps one driver has taken things too far.
Instead of just moaning about it like the rest of us, this driver decided to take things into his own hands.
The driver of this Audi S3 still agreed to pick up their family, instead from the hard shoulder of the airport slip road, in an attempt to avoid paying £4.50.
A savvy idea you might think, except the driver was caught and found to have illegal plates and no insurance. The crafty driver was spotted by motorway police and reported for three offences.
In a tweet from the GMP Traffic account, officers said: "Audi S3 was stopped on hard shoulder of the Airport Spur.
"Driver wanted to avoid parking charges, collecting family. Spoken to by #ME54 who also noticed his illegal plates and checks revealed he also had no insurance.
"Vehicle sezied. Reported for all 3 offences."
