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.

And could land them in a great deal of trouble if they ban a disabled person for parking in a disabled bay without a badge.

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.

You are correct I did misread it - my apologies.

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.

As their rules are unenforceable (in most cases) I wonder why they bother?

And why they then pay money to have PPC scum terrorise people?

Seems odd to me.

Not really. If someone isnt complying with their "rules" then they have the right not to allow them onto their premises.

As for not knowing, neither does anyone know why disabled people may park in parent and child spaces instead of disabled spaced............which was my point. You cant know without asking.

Although technically the disabled spaces are thought of as for disabled people, they're really only for blue badge holders

People make assumptions waaaay too often. If the alarm goes off, some twisted part of your brain makes some people hope someone has stolen something. People just like being nosey and butting in to other peoples lives when in reality, its nothing to do with anyone else.

Take recently, one of my close friends was in hospital after suffering a severe rare type of stroke and people he worked with but never got on with wanted to visit him. He didnt want them in, to spare their feelings we told them visitors had to be authorised (which was true, they had to have permission from his son or myself). One person went through anyway, lied and said they had permission and because my friend never spoke to him (because he didnt want him there) he went and told everyone else he was a vegetable and didnt know his own mind. Apparently 30 mins of visiting means he knows better than us who sat with him from 6am till midnight every day waiting on updates from the doctors.

People jump to conclusions all of the time without stopping to wonder if there are reasons for it being like it is.

In a private car park though technically they are for everyone

Sorry, I sound like a right old bag! I love kids and I get the wider bays idea. But come on guys! It's a disabled person parking somewhere that causes you, at most, a bit of inconvenience. It's not a contravention of your basic human rights!

I dont think anyone here said that it was. :question::think:

How many more times does this need repeating. The blue badge scheme is not applicable in private car-parks, and to limit disabled spaces to blue badge holders is a breach of the DDA.

Ah yeah i was speaking of car park rules rather than law (re: red text).

A lot of people think if someone isnt in a wheelchair, they arent disabled. Both my parents are blue badge holders. My mum had a hip operation last year and needs to use a crutch, my dad is due to get both his knees done at the end of this month but has days where he is so sore, he literally cant walk 6 paces (although obviously on those days, he cant even get out the house).

While my mum can stand for longer and walk further than my dad, she does need extra room to get out of the car because of her hip. My dad doesnt need the extra space but does need a space close to the shops. I could always drop them at the door then park the car but unfortunately i am not always able to go with them on their weekly shop.

I think they should do away with P&C spaces, that way...normal spaces would be wider, hence no issues :cool:

they should do away with disabled and P&C. Make even more room for everyone. All spaces can be wide enough then for anybody, disability / kids or not
