I do not believe



Each holder has to be assessed by a doctor. Anyone who is found to be abusing the rules, for example allowing a healthy person to use their badge risks losing their badge and quite severe penalties.

Empirical evidence - watch the next 10 blue badges cars and see the drivers sprint to the shops for their fags and booze.

Research Evidence - investigation from a [midlands-ish??] council showing [iirc] 40% were being abused.

Where do you get bigoted from??

They RISK penaltiesetc, but very few if any ever get a penalty and even less lose their badges. Just because they break the rules doesn't mean they are not 'entitled' to a blue badge....and that's what the lawyers argue.

Don't be so sodding sensitive....you should have asked Santa for a thicker skin.

You may be right, but can show me any evidence to support the assertion that the majority of blue badge holders are cheats?

Who said 'majority'??

Or is it just your paranoia and persecution complex kicking in again??

Wonder how many motorists have been plundered by these modern highwaymen over the festive period.

Well I have for one. Not parking in a disabled place but by parking outside Argos in a large retail park, to unload. I was not in a designated parking place.

Looking forward to the fun when I received my invoice for my 'contract'. Can't wait to see them try and enforce it in court!!

I used to shop at Kwik Save yes it was a few years ago & the car park attendant must have been related to Hitler I observed him hiding & pouncing on people many were genuine shoppers at the store some got very angry & probably never returned & some stressed out folk even cried, I went in store & was told the usual nothing to do with us but Id imagine alot of people complained as a week later the outfit had been kicked of the site.
However you did park with no intention of making payment & then even worse took up a disabled place - put yourself in the position of a disabled motorist trying to park & there you are !

Im sorry but I think you should just pay up, £20 is a cheap lesson for you to learn.

You may be genuine but there are thousands out there who aren't. This is the problem. Can each badge holder honestly say that they can't walk an extra 30 feet to the shop door. I bet you that if there was £50 to be had they could.

I am not saying that there aren't genuine blue badge holders out there, but sadly they are in the minority!!!

So are you saying that it's ok to take up a disabled space just in case the person who might have parked there has a fake blue badge?????????

As far as I'm aware, "private" disabled bays outside people's homes have always been free for anyone with a blue badge to use.

Something that really annoys me is where blue badge holders park on double yellow lines in dangerous places. There is a reason why the double yellow line is there - not to stop people from parking for free or to provide disabled parking, but because it ain't safe to park there!

They aren't allowed to park in a dangerous place.

Apparently the only thing some of these bellends can't do is impose a death penalty.

No. I'm saying that I personally don't agree with the scheme. It is abused too much.

My dad once had his way blocked by a !!!!!! who parked on a single track bridge to watch salmon leaping at the falls below. When my dad said you will have to move, he bleated "but I am disabled" . Some people are just so thick they need the rules explained to them often and vigorously.
