There are no plans to follow the UK's lead in changing the parking fine system in the Isle of Man.
Proposals there will see penalties reduced and motorists allowed a five-minute grace period before a fine is handed down.
It comes off the back of criticism from the public that councils are stepping up patrols as a means of increasing their revenues.
In many cases, parking fines are costing drivers more than speeding fines.
Infrastructure Minister David Cretney says there isn't scope for a similar initiative in the Island:
