Usual confusion, and it's not wholly clear what the issue was, but at least he's got it overturned.

And good to see the nice sunny, cheery and professional disposition he's portraying for the trade in the photo

A taxi driver landed a £60 parking fine - despite only being outside a McDonald's branch for 47 seconds. Kam Parvez had gone to the Trent Vale branch to pick up a customer.

But the 33-year-old was stunned to be slapped with the parking penalty at the Springfield Retail Park branch. It was handed out after the car park operator claimed Kam had parked on yellow 'keep clear' markings near the entrance to the McDonald's car park.

Now Kam, from Meir Park, has managed to overturn the penalty after winning a second appeal. He was able to prove that he had never parked on the 'keep clear' markings as suggested by the company.

He said: "I was in there for 47 seconds, including the U-turn and including loading the customer into the vehicle. I was parked outside of the restricted area. The customer was already waiting on the roadside.

"They rejected my appeal and included a site map. In there, the area has a red line which goes all the way to the entrance of McDonald's. It's bigger than the area they've marked out on the road. I want the public to know.

"They told me it was because I had entered the marked area and I had parked there. But I wasn't parked within the 'keep clear' area, I parked out of that area."

McDonald's has declined to comment as the incident did not take place on its land. StokeonTrentLive has contacted iPark Services for a statement regarding the overturned fine.

These companies are scammers, and the fact that they rejected his first appeal is no surprise to me. Sad thing is many pay up.

If the fella was only in there 47 seconds it really doesn't matter what he did and where as he wouldn't have had time to agree to the contract on the signs.

Think the guidelines these scammers have to adhere to, to gain access to the DVLA database, means there should be a few minutes of flexibility to agree to the terms.
