Its amazing how wrong you are regarding the blue badge it doesnt have the car registration plate on it

My original post was I question which I didn't know the answer to. The previous post was my amazement at why people don't read posts and repeat previous peoples answers that's all, no need to get cocky about it

In response my child is 4 weeks old and, no it wasnt a big deal to walk from the furthest car park away. But my point is that the disabled bay was EMPTY and is NEXT to the mother and child spaces. I believe that this was quite simply a selfish man who doesnt have to try and lift a baby seat from a car without damaging the car next to it.

Why dont you ask the supermarket why they dont have enough spaces for Parent and Children then and not moan about a obviously elderly man who gets pushed around at will in the store as it is. Disabled people have every right to use those spaces as much as you they are their for convience have a little sympathy its bad enough for disabled people parking cars as it is .The amout of abuse i and family members have had off irate mothers in the past leaves me with no sympathy as does your OP which is quite frankly openly hostile which there is no need off.

" The disabled parking scheme is now a joke and should be abolished or at least renewed forthwith. Whilst there is a lot of criminal abuse of the system, the main culprits are the blue badge holders themselves and their families who keep badges long after they are not needed, sell them on, use them when there is no entitlement etc etc. Also I don't see why disable badge holders get to park on double-yellow lines. Double-yellows are there for reasons of traffic flow and pedestrian safety; I don't see why that entitles disabled badge holders to park there and avoid parking fees in car parks."

And its that typical thinking that will see this country not ever be disabled freindly. You are making some rather big accusations there. Whilst i agree there should be a massive overhaul of the system saying it should be abolished is quite farsical.
On the yellow lines issue take this senario if a person with a disability has a 1/2 mile walk from a NCP car park to the place where they want to go its has very real and significant health implications and should there be a yellow line outside or near and not causing an obstruction then it is perfectly legal and justifaible.On the fees note do you actucally realise how little some disabled people have to live on after you pay for carers and other medications and aids ? there is nothing left in the pot.

Really and you weren't.

I didnt realise only one answer is allowed here, I check the rules next time. I actually added a lot more to the replies by giving full information of the blue badge itself so that people dont jump to conclusions

Thanks

I wonder how I coped when my DD was little without parent and child spaces:rolleyes: .I know it must be annoying when someone parks in the wrong spot but It's hardly the end of the world is it?

What annoys me are the parents with older kids who see it as entitlement to P&C spaces.

e.g. the t0sser in his Chelsea tractor last week in the supermarket who pulled into a P&C space with his 10yr old kid in the passenger seat whilst people with child seats struggled to get them out in the cramped standard spaces elsewhere.

Saying that, how are people enforcing the P&C spaces? Are they controlled in the same way disabled spaces are? I.e. heavy fines, and the need for a special badge?

I think they should be clamped. Not for money. But force them to dial a number to get unclamped followed by a lethargic clamper turning up 45 mins later to release them.

Sod the fines, just inconvenience them, like they do others.

They soon think twice about using them.

We seem to be living in an ever more selfish society where even basic manners have long since disappeared.

My wife stood in the full doctors waiting room for 10 mins a couple of days ago ( She's 8 months preganant) and not one person offered her their seat.

Or even better they should be forced to dress up as a big baby in an adult nappy during the unclamping process for public humiliation:rotfl:

I lived in Georgia in the US for 6 months. There, shoplifters get the option of a heavy fine or to stand in front of the shop for a day with a billboard saying they shoplifted from that store.

Try that here & the human rights do-gooders would be all over it.
