Asda....parking Fine..

Supermarkets will not make the spaces bigger cause they want to fit more cars in.

I think there should be an age on parent & child parking spaces because people do abuse it, up to age 3 I think, my DS is almost 4 and can get in and out of the car no problem, can walk no problem, I just need to help him with the seatbelt but don't need a massive space anymore.

OK....BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND......
First of all i like to thank everyone who put out encouraging advice, as this gave me hope & decisive action i took.......spoke to the general manager of the store calmly explained the circumstances of the case, after listening intently he desided to right off the notice...!
To those..sincere peaple, who said "did it , pay it",a
word of caution...we are all humans...not machines & will time to time make mistakes, the point is how you learn from them.Personally speaking a "warning notice"on my windscreen would have the same affect.

I think this is the sort of attitude that spoils it for others. There are people that need to use those spaces who do actaully have children with them - or in the case of disabled people are or have disabled with them.

So how many dents have you had in your car before you starting parking in the parent and child spaces?

If people park well enough and are considerate then the car doors wont scrape the cars next to them

i used to work in a supermarket and the 2 different cars i had during my time working there got scratched quite a bit.

the spaces were narrow though, although i have to say i find parent and child spaces a bit pointless, when you compare what parents go through compared to someone who is seriously disabled

is it classed as abuse when someone with an older child uses the spaces? i have seen many people with children around the 12-13 mark :eek:

It's a good job that it wasn't me that was patrolling the car park, as I think that people who abuse the disabled & parent/toddler spaces fully deserve to be shot.

Pay up you whining wuss and learn your lesson.

Tesco gave me a purple parent and child sticker to put in my car, which was valid until my child was 5 years old.Seems sensible to me.

So far we don't have fines in supermarket car parks here in Dundee.

What I do hate..old folks who use the parent and child AND disabled spaces , and when questioned just give you a mouthful of abuse...I often tell people they have forgotten to bring their children out of the car, or forgotten to display their blue badge...all with a lovely smile of course.

I remember what it was like trying to get a tired toddler into a car seat,and never ever use the spaces now dd is old enough.

Have never parked in a disabled space either, even late at night when the car park is not busy.

If I parked on double yellows or a bus stop or a taxi rank I'd not have an excuse.Same goes for this.

imho pay the fine and run from a further away space next time you're pushed for time.

i would have shot the people abusing disabled spaces and painted the p and c spaces to make them disabled ones as well.
the allocation of disabled spaces in supermarkets is dreadful

"Murphy_The_Cat"......clearly you have a problem reading & understanding...as if you had read my last post...you clearly would have reached a different conclusion....

remember,if a disabled person is not present in the badged car they should only park in a normal space.

i know badge holders that abuse these spaces by using them without the disabled person present!

(i am not saying every badge holder does this,but i have seen it happen)
