Dewsbury Reporter October 2, 2006 HEADLINE: Un-fare treatment? A TAXI driver who waited in an ASDA disabled bay for two minutes while a customer put his shopping in the car has been hit with a £20 fine. Private hire driver Yunus Haji said last Friday he went to pick up customer David Griffin, who was standing next to a disabled bay. He said he left the engine running while Mr Griffin put his shopping in the boot. He said: "The parking attendant came up and I told him I was just there to pick up a customer and would be gone in a minute. He said, 'you should follow the rules' and he got his computer out and gave me a ticket." Mr Haji was ordered to pay the £20 fine within 10 days or it would rise to £40. He spoke to the store manager who said there was nothing she could do to help. An ASDA spokesperson said: "We take misuse of our disabled parking pays seriously and have a responsibility to keep them clear for disabled customers. On this occasion the taxi driver used the disabled parking space to collect a passenger and that is why he received a ticket. An area of the car park has been allocated for taxis to collect their fares." ...................................... |

Confused from Sussex. 
If the mush was picking up at Asda, then why didn't he pick up from the pick up point? |
