I disagree with the advice that you have done nothing wrong. You may not have acted illegally but that does not automatically mean you were right to behave the way you did.

For an able bodied person to deliberately deprive a disabled person of facilities provided to help ease the burden of their disability, is to my mind very wrong. Such selfish and inconsiderate behaviour should not be condoned.

To quote you, you are no different to those 'same low life ppl' to whom you refer.

You may be right but a private citizen ( the parking company) cannot penalize another private individual for breaking a non-existent law.

To date, I have never seen a member give the advice that you should park there (unless its one of the more contentious members that is).

Is there anything you disagree with in my post? If not then perhaps advising such thoughtless selfish drivers should not continue that behaviour would be more positive. Telling them they have done nothing wrong does not assist in improving their behaviour towards disabled people.

We all have rights and responsibilities. By all means advise them they cannot be forced to pay the charges but balance that with a reminder of their responsibilities towards others. Particularly in respect of those less fortunate than themselves.

Yes, your insulting judgemental tone.

The disabled blue badges are widely abused anyway. They're sold on the grey/black market, relatives of users think they are entitled to use them, and people without serious mobility problems/need to park in specific places due to their condition (i.e. those who don't really need them) are often given blue badges.

The blue badge scheme is a disgrace and really needs to be overhauled.

Well thats ok. You are not disagreeing with the sentiment.

That is a separate issue to an able bodied person deliberately using facilities intended for the use of the disabled. Which is what the OP claimed he did.

Would you like a slightly higher horse?
As it happens, I don't think that able bodied people should park in disabled spaces. Equally I don't think that some low life parasitic pond dwelling PPC owner should be allowed make himself rich from people who do, and I will always advise them not to pay. If you are concerned about this, rather than moaning at us why don't you lobby your MP for a change in the law to make disabled spaces on private car parks enforceable through the proper channels, with a proper independent appeals process.

You are being rather presumptious - whether I personally agree or disagree with you is not the issue here.

If you wish to debate the morality of drivers parking in disabled bays etc, then may I suggest you start your own thread on the subject.
