This didn’t go unnoticed by the camcar driver.
After getting their CashCard scanned at the gantry, they deliberately stopped their vehicle for a moment.
It seemed they were doing so to block the driver behind them from getting away with free parking by tailing behind.
When he realised what was happening, the Citroën driver exited his vehicle and started chasing after the camcar, furiously shaking his fist in the air as the latter zoomed off.

Realising that his efforts to run after the camcar would be in vain, he stopped and walked back to his vehicle.
At that moment, the barrier came down, preventing him from exiting without paying his parking fee.

One user urged people like the tailgater to just take public transport if they’re not willing to pay for parking fees.
However, there were a few who defended the man, even saying that the camcar should have let him pass.
