I have just been told I face an £80.00 fine at Luton airport for getting confused and driving the wrong way up a one way road trying to find the disabled parking bays. apart from the fine, will I also receive penalty points on my licence as I understand the airport is classified as a Private Road.?
Hi Trevor, It would be unlikely that you will receive penalty points on your licence but please check the paperwork you have been given as it should state whether or not penalty points could be applied.
If you have received the notification from the police that they are going to fine you then it would be something we could advise you on. If however the notification came from the local council then this falls into civil law which is unfortunately not our area of legal expertise – we are criminal law.
Please try and contact a high street firm of solicitors in Luton to see if they can help.
