A pensioner was slapped with a £255 fine after stopping for seconds to read a sign. Andy Smith had driven two friends to East Midlands Airport to drop two friends who were checking in their luggage and staying at the nearby Leonardo Hotel overnight.
Mr Smith, who lives in Sheffield, entered the airport drop-off zone around 5pm and paid the £5 drop off fee, so that his friend Derek Sleath, 75, could take his and his wife's luggage into the airport to check it in.
The 75-year-old then drove from the drop off zone to the hotel, which is located in the airport grounds, to drop off Derek's wife, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
