Nerinder Singh appealed the fine which has increased to £170 due to delayed payment
A Nottingham taxi driver who has been fined £170 after "turning around" in the car park of a row of shops says it is "daylight robbery". Nerinder Singh, from Radcliffe-on-Trent, was in West Bridgford waiting to go to a job in Lambley when he pulled into the parking spaces in front of Glow UV Tanning Studio on Davies Road.
Mr Singh said: "Excuse my language but I'm well ****** off. It's not just happening to me. It's happening to hundreds of people. These are unscrupulous parking companies. They've got to be to be doing this. It's daylight robbery." On this occasion, he was looking for a spot to wait before heading to his next job. Having previously owned a business in West Bridgford, he saw the parking spaces outside the shops on Davies Road as a potential stopping point.
Mr Singh stepped outside of his taxi for "three or four minutes" to read the signs before exiting - specifically to avoid a fine. But less than 28 days later he was shocked to see he'd been charged.
