More than a dozen motorists were left stuck in a car park when a car's central locking system malfunctioned and blocked drivers' key fobs.
Some cars failed to start on Tuesday in Parrock Street car park, in Gravesend, Kent, while others would not unlock.

Stranded drivers were left to call motoring organisations for help.

What's wrong with using the low tech solution stuck to the end of the hi tech one, called a key?

Not interested. I would however like to be forwarded any articles you come across on immigration or house prices.

How to ensure there is no congestion when you leave the car park

More than a dozen motorists were left stuck in a car park when a car's central locking system malfunctioned and blocked drivers' key fobs.
Some cars failed to start on Tuesday in Parrock Street car park, in Gravesend, Kent, while others would not unlock.

Stranded drivers were left to call motoring organisations for help.

However Gravesend Borough Council had been investigating similar problems in the car park for weeks. Finally Ofcom was called and the offending car found.

Ofcom was finally called and a survey found a small family car was intermittently sending out signals blocking other fobs in a 164ft (50 m) radius.

A notice was placed on the car informing the owner - a commuter who left his vehicle there all day.

The spokesman said: "The driver was unaware of the problems his car had been causing and has now made contact with us and the problem will be fixed once and for all."

What a great way to reduce congestion around your own vehicle?
