    It is not "the rules" - it is a nice thing to have but in no way is it any sort of enforceable rule.

    Unless people have a degree of respect for others these sort of advisory things will not work. People have to be forced to do things. Sadly.

    Put your teddy on a bungee mate - that way you don't lose it when you throw it out of the pram.

    Write to your MP then

    In Scotland there is a bill going through the parliament which would make it an offence to park in disabled bays on private land, as it is on council land.

    I answered your question, perhaps you could return the courtesy.
    Only 3% of those registered blind in the UK have zero vision.

    Sorry old chap - never noticed there was a question in there (the 'teddy' remark was addressed to PWales)

    However, my answer is : because the practicalities say that there is no harm to anyone in using the parking spot in those circumstances.

    I assume though if a disabled driver or drivers were to turn up during that five minutes the lack of a space, or spaces, could be deemed to be harming them?

    As one is not able to predict what may happen in the future, the fact that one may "only" be there for 5 minutes is in itself irrelevant.

    In an empty car park at 07.00?

    What's this? Attack of the pedants?

    I merely mention a possibility not a probability.
