disabled and parents parking

What about disabled people who don't have blue badges? In reality, you have no idea who is and is not disabled, because there is NO obligation to have a blue badge on private car parks. The people who we see in these spaces may be genuinely disabled.

"And i know parking "fines" issued by private companies may not be enforced like ones issued from the council or police but they can still refer the "fine" to a debt collector......and have done so"

As it is not a fine it cannot be collected - not even by "debt collectors" - there is no debt to collect.;)

For a start they are invoices not fines if issued by private companies and debt collectors have no more power than me or you to enforce these invoices.

"However, maybe they're not so ignorant like half the people on this thread and wouldnt use a disabled bay without having a blue badge."

Are you suggesting that 50% of the people on this thread would park in a disabled space?

If so on what do you base that claim?

I've only seen one poster suggest that they would do so.

So not quite the 50% claimed then;)

If i thought they were actual fines, i wouldnt have written "fines"................The simple fact that i did write it as such should have been enough implication that i know they're not fines.

As for the latter, i didnt say "not as ignorant as half of people on this thread WHO would use a disabled space without a badge".

My my, so many people eager to point out apparent errors that are non-existent. I can make enough mistakes on my own without other people making them on my behalf thank you.

In near enough every car park here there is a notice of rules, penalities and a warning that if you park there, you are doing so in compliance with their rules. While they may not be able to enforce "fines" (yes, i just did it again however notice the deliberate "'s) as police can, they can ban you from their property.

No one made that claim other than those who failed to read what i wrote as it was written.

English teachers in this country must really be lacking.

But how do you know that the people who use the disabled bays are not all disabled?

I would of thought that the last thing a supermarket wants to do is to start banning people from shopping there, just because they have broken one of their silly "rules". Not very good business practice.
