Uber driver fuming as he's fined £100 for stopping to speak to parking attendant

An Uber driver was left furious after he was fined £100 for pulling over to speak to a parking attendant.

Gerald Stenberg, from Formby, collects passengers from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) every day. The 70-year-old, who has been a private hire driver for 20 years, was hit with a fine after being told he had stopped in a prohibited zone.

However, he said this was just a brief stop in order to speak to an attendant about ongoing issues he and other drivers had been having with JLA's free car park. After the ECHO raised this with the airport, they have now asked for his fine to be waived.
