A FAMILY who tried to use forged disabled badges to avoid paying £12 to park have been fined almost £3,000.
Married Terry and Deborah Ager made the dodgy passes, giving copies to their son Ben and Terry’s sister Joanne Tucker, when they all visited Portsmouth.
Parking wardens spotted the badges were being used 150 miles from the Agers’ home in Colchester, Essex.
Deborah, 56, and Terry, 71, made copies of his mother and uncle’s disabled parking badges, scanning and printing them at a library.
All four members of the family displayed the badges in their cars to avoid a £12 parking charge after driving to Portsmouth for a day out.
However, parking wardens noticed the blue badges were being used almost 150 miles away from their homes in Colchester, Essex, Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court heard.
