Sign Seems clear enough. Tell him to pay the fine and learn his lesson.

Surely a saloon can fit a wheelchair in his boot?

Doesn't say the punter must be sitting in it.

Look at the traffic order.

Yes, look at the traffic order and Traffic signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD), see if the WAV exempt sign is legal or has been approved by the secretary of state for that location. Post it on Pepipoo, they love cases like this.

Tell him to photocopy his licence and send it to them, stating he is hackney and the WC was in the boot.
just had a look at the sign, it states no access between 7 am and 11am and 4 pm to 7 pm, except for buses and wc taxis and permit holders, what time was the ticket
