Its not just about how close a bay is to the store is also about having room to get out of the car aided or otherwise

BB are hard to get

True, but at the end of the day some BB holders abuse the system and use the spaces even when they don't need them, or if they have no intention of leaving the vehicle. In those cases they are acting in the same morally bankrupt way as an able bodied person using the space!

Unfortunately the 'gift' of acting like an idiot doesn't discriminate between being disabled or able bodied, sometimes...

Same old argument different thread. At the end of the day it's a parking space. I use the parent and child spaces if any are free otherwise I use a normal one (usually) on one occasion I pulled into a disabled space as an old couple were getting out of their car in a parent and child space next to it with no child and a blue badge. They had a right go at me telling me i had no right to park there..... until i reminded them that they were parked in a parent and child space... they seemed to beleive that a blue badge allowed them to park anywhere they liked....

Its a pointless argument and completely un-enforcable i dont know why people keep bringing it up, so what if you have to walk 100 yards further might do *some* of the people with blue badges some good, after all for quite a few things that qualify you for one, exercise is the best medication.

Cue the flaming!

Lots don't have a buggy on the diagram, just and represenation of large and small person. Grandkids would be fine. I wonder what the consensus is on the kids age for parking in these spaces.

I've often wondered this myself. I know in Tesco, it's about 5 years old, and I was surprised in Sainsburys only recently that it is 12 years old! My kids are now 10 & 8 and I don't tend to park in these places any more, but have often wondered what age limit these supermarkets have.

Is there a "not" missing in that last sentence?;)

It was meant to be "condemned "

No not really, I just wondered where you got the info from.

... Specifically: "If you have a badge, it must only be used for your benefit. If a trip is for someone else and you are a passenger and staying in the car, you cannot use the badge to let them benefit from free parking."

All the above relates to official car parks run by Councils.

Disabled bays, blue badges, parent & child spaces, have NO legal standing at all in private car parks such as the OP's Tesco - you could park a Centurion tank lengthways across 5 such spaces and you wouldn't be breaking any laws.

There is NO fine to pay.
The tickets are not real - the whole thing is a scam, private companies cannot fine you.
