A man has been fined after he was found to be using his wife’s Blue Badge for his own benefit.
James Mason initially claimed that he had dropped his wife off at an appointment but later admitted that he had lied.
Blue Badges allow a disabled person to park closer to their home or destination, and can only be displayed by another person if the badge holder is present and is being dropped off or collected.
Mr Mason pleaded guilty by post and at Luton Magistrates’ court he was sentenced and ordered to pay fines totalling £510 due to the breach of Section 117(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
