Has Delbay changed his name??

Hi
I see many people around who can park for free and they don't have any health problem.
Is there any chance to get a badge to park for free on those yellow lines and best parking places for free?
Cheers

I have failed to apply logic to your request and ask you to explain what brings you to your conclusions. ?

yes indeed many people have been in unfortunate circumstances and feel insulted by delbay's post.
But there is alot of fake disabled badges going around........ Outside of my uni in east london, i see ftos, m3's parked up and I know ALOT of these people are not disabled at ALL! Even had someone offer to sell me a badge, lol

But having said this i do feel sorry for people who have unfortunate circumstances and I hope this post is not offending.

In answer to delbay's qs, yes there are ways you can FAKE to get one, but then its illegal and if you get caught its probz gonna be a hefty fine.

I get really angry with people who make stupid remarks like that! My Dad has a badge, but not a wheelchair, his disability is real alright! My sister had to apply four times for hers before she got one, although they would give her a disabled bus pass!
She has severe epilepsy, which causes her to go blind when she has a fit, so she needs to have someone with her all the time, and trying to get her badge was a nightmare!

Applying for a badge
Do I meet the eligibility criteria?

Surely it is within the scope of these great supermarkets to have a member of staff checking disabled space jumpers where there is no badge shown and asking the owner of the offending vehicle to remove it. OVER THE PA SYSTEM.
This could well shame some offenders but not all of course !
It is a criminal offence to drive a vehicle displaying a blue badge unless there is an authorised blue badge holder in said vehicle. They can be fined up to £1000.
Non-disabled drivers who park in a bay designated for blue badge holders are liable to a parking fine.

But surely that doesn't apply on supermarket car parks :-/

Unfortunately you are right Trafalgar,I should have added 'on a public thoroughfare'
Thanks.

i dont think that these badges should be given out freely,i know there are people that need them more than me, i suffer from severe irritable bowel syndrome and also use my car on a daily basis for work but when i have to go i have to go ,and because i do not qualify for a badge i have picked up several parking tickets,a couple which i have appealed only to pay double the original fine

Could you scan in your parking ticket, then you can load up a graphics package and change the date/time. You wouldn't need the sticky back because the parking bloke wouldnt be able to see it.

Also you could stick a note on the ticket machine saying out of order, and leave a note saying you couldn't pay because the machine was broken , and giving everyone else free parking? Just an idea?
