It seemed an odd thing to prosecute for to me too, but "dangerous driving" includes ignoring road signs. He doesn't need to have actually endangered anyone... if there's a sign at the bottom to the effect that vehicular access is not permitted he was, according to the law, driving dangerously.
Of course this waste of public money wouldn't be necessary if, instead of giving it back to the owner after retrieving it the first time, they'd just crushed the fecking thing. :lol
