- Yes, they did. It was really special. I'll frame the letter I received! says Mårten Bernstad to SVT News Skåne.

It was in November last year that Mårten Bernstad drove his sick daughter to the emergency room at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö.

Got a cure outside the emergency room

After leaving his 16-year-old daughter in the waiting room, Mårten Bernstad rushed out to pay for parking on the street outside. In the stress, he happened to hit a nine instead of a second in the car's registration number and then received a p-bot of SEK 800 after the hospital visit.

When he then contacted Parking Malmö to contest the p-fine, the company assured that the fee would be canceled if Mårten Bernstad submitted a certificate from the emergency. But the company first did not approve the certificate from the emergency and believed that the certificate was not an "emergency certificate".

Mårten's story about the p-bot quickly became a talked-about news. See the report here:

- Of course, a p-bot is not the whole world, this is a matter of principle, says Mårten Bernstad. Photo: Bernard Mikulic

Don't pay the boat

But now something has changed the company, and a while ago Mårten Bernstad received the happy message.

- This visit ended with my daughter getting medicine and getting healthy and my p-bot was cleared. Everything was very good!

He is satisfied that the p-fine was annulled but at the same time questions the parking company's quick fines.

- Yes, I think these parking apps feed the parking companies with information on when parking times expire which means they can be extra quick to fine.

SVT News Skåne has applied for Parking Malmö for a comment.
