Avis told a police community support officer: "I have not got time for this, send it in the post," and drove off.
At Ely courthouse on Thursday, 35-year-old Avis admitted obstructing the officer, and parking an Isuzu Trooper illegally on a pedestrian crossing on Soham High Street on May 21.
He was fined a total of £200, with £60 costs and a £15 surcharge, and three points were endorsed on his licence.
