The incident happened on Wednesday and according to TimesLive, 62-year-old Lovangavasan Rajagopaul could not understand why he was fined.

“I reversed into the parking bay so the car guard had a better view as batteries are often stolen in this area. I was a patient in the hospital and whenever I go there, I feel stressed because I worry that my car would be broken into or stolen,” says Lovangavasan.
Even though he claims that his car didn't impact the flow of traffic, the Durban metro police officer didn't seem to agree with him.
