A dad who fraudulently used his 14-year-old daughter’s disabled Blue Badge when she was not present, has been found guilty and fined a total of £620 at Luton Magistrates’ Court recently.
Mohammed Asif, 39 of Selbourne Road, Luton pleaded guilty of mis-using the badge to park in the Ashton Square car park in Dunstable in September 2021.
At the time of the incident, Mr Asif said he was picking up his daughter, however our investigation proved this was not the case. When formally interviewed he stated he unknowingly parked in the disabled bay and the badge is always displayed on the dashboard of his vehicle.
Mr Asif received a criminal conviction and was fined £80, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £34 and costs of £506 – a total cost to him of £620.
