When Michael Martin was asked to move his delivery van into a loading bay in Weston-super-Mare he said 'alright' and thought nothing more about it.
But months later, the 30-year-old, from Lawrence Weston, lost his job working for pharmaceuticals giant AAH because bosses spotted him on Channel 5's Britain's Parking Hell: Ticket Wars and decided the self-employed driver wasn't acting 'appropriately'.
During the 40-second clip, Michael and the warden spoke briefly while his van was left in Boots' parking space. The clip shows Micheal attempting to reverse out while another car was driving past. The documentary's narrator then says Michael sped off down the road in anger.
Michael disputes this interpretation of his driving. He was only driving a few metres and claims it would be impossible to speed during such a short distance.
"You can hear on the film that I am being polite," says Michael. "He asks me to move and I agree and move straight away.
"I started reversing and as soon as I saw there was oncoming traffic behind me I stopped as you can see in the video by my brake lights coming on.
"I then drove to the loading bay he told me to use which was no further than four car spaces. He said I drove with excessive speed which in that short amount of space couldn't be done.

"I tried to talk to them to tell them my side of the story but no one would listen," said Michael. "I have made myself completely available for them. Sometimes I'm called at 5am in the morning or at weekends and I always went.
"I have always worked to the highest standard with no complaints against me."
"They could have at least listened to what I had to say."
