It is not a legal requirement on private land which is the subject under debate here. You are not comparing like with like was the point I was making.Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.Together we can make a difference.0 -
Not everyone with a disability wishes to register as disabled or even request a blue badge for that matter that doesn't mean their needs are any lesser, I've never heard of mothers being required to produce children for mother and baby spaces have you?
Well if they are too proud to register, then they can't take advantage of parking allowences on the public highway, and shouldn't expect to get any in a private car park either. It's simple, if they are eligable then they should register. It doesn't cost anything.
As for parent and child spaces........yes they can get fined if they don't have children with them.0 -

No they can't. They can have a penalty notice issued to them but they cannot be fined no more than anyone using a disabled space without displaying a badge.Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.Together we can make a difference.0 -

No, they can't.
"No they can't. They can have a penalty notice issued to them but they cannot be fined."
Penalty notices ARE issued, I grant you that. But penalties are not allowed under contract law. So they are worthless bits of paper.0 -
Who mentioned pride? Not me. Who says so? They don't need to they can simply use the bays with impunity until such time as they are legally enforcableTim_Deegan wrote: »Well if they are too proud to register, then they can't take advantage of parking allowences on the public highway, and shouldn't expect to get any in a private car park either.

I can't see what point you are making........if you don't have a blue badge then don't park there, it's simple, no excuses about what other people do.
If you are parking on private land, and you don't comply with the wishes of the land owner then you shouldn't be there, and although the fines may not be legally binding, they could probably prosecute for trespassing.0 -

No. It's a civil matter.0 -

Give it a rest ben, we aren't in court here, you know exactly what I mean.......fine, penalty notice, etc......I don't care what they call it, just don't park there.
I do believe that they can clamp you on private land, so trying to be clever with legal terms could back fire in the future.0 -
I'm glad you used the word probably because you're wrong they can't..Tim_Deegan wrote: »I can't see what point you are making........if you don't have a blue badge then don't park there, it's simple, no excuses about what other people do.

We are getting off the point here.......it's simple, it is morally wrong, so don't do it.0
