Main point is how the heck is a blue badge going to help?

Closer to car = can get into car quicker and go straight home.

what have a break down RUN to the car in a complete meltdown then DRIVE home in a complete mess how safe is this going to be!
blue badge is not needed medication and alot of counceling is needed.when i fell i had my licence taken from me and had to do a adapted driving test again to to prove i am safe i hope this is also done to m/h drivers

Talk about being judgemental!

I think Ash has mentioned stuff about having physical disabilities that make walking painful; so may get HRM and blue badge that way.

And drive home having a MELTDOWN?
Blue badges are for DISABLED people and I would say you were able bodied and therefor should not get one.

i think you should learn to drive it will give you alot of freedom...

So what if your in the supermarket and the car is in the multi story car park few hundred meters away and something triggers it? Your car cant help you there.
What if you are driving down the motorway at 70mph and something triggers a MELTDOWN. What then?

because i no what my triggers are, the area it was i can avoid by going a different route, and being pinned down which is physical or the guy which is somewhat unlikly
