Glasgow drivers’ fury as Fast and Furious road-fine blunder sees hundreds wrongly hit with £60 fines
Cars were accidentally sent down banned bus lane during filming of Hobbs and Shaw spin-off starring Idris Elba and Jason Statham.
MORE than 800 drivers were fined after being wrongly diverted during filming of the new Fast and Furious spin-off.
Vehicles were accidentally sent down a banned bus lane as high-octane movie Hobbs and Shaw was shot.
The bungle saw 817 drivers sent £60 penalties for using the off-limits route at Glasgow's Nelson Mandela Place.
One motorist, who had his fine ripped up after an appeal, said: "I was puzzled because I remember the sign said the bus lane was suspended. It's a shambles."

Restrictions on the road were axed for several days during filming of the flick, starring Idris Elba and Jason Statham, last month.
But it's thought a crew member accidentally put the diversion sign up on October 28, when the city-centre street was closed again.
A city council spokesman said all the fines had been cancelled.
He added: "We have contacted those affected to apologise."
