    There are some posters who need to read the Bible, as well as the BB rules:

    "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone"

    It's evident that some posters feel they are perfectly entitled to be critical, opinionated and down-right rude, causing great distress to others, but are astonished, and childish when someone has the temerity to disagree. I hope all BB holders find parking spaces in the future.

    A Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all posters and non posters.

    Who can use the badge?
    The badge is for your use and benefit
    only. It must only be displayed if you are
    travelling in the vehicle as a driver or
    passenger, or if someone is collecting
    you or dropping you off and needs to park
    nearby for your benefit.
    Do not allow other people to use the badge
    to do something on your behalf, such as
    shopping or collecting something for you,
    unless you are travelling with them.


    You must never give the badge to friends
    or family to allow them to park for free,
    even if they are visiting you.






    You should not use the badge to allow
    non-disabled people to take advantage
    of the benefits while you sit in the

    car. Although it is not illegal for a badge
    holder, or a non-disabled person waiting
    for the badge holder to return, to remain
    in the vehicle while the Blue Badge is
    displayed, consideration should be given




    to using a car park whenever possible.
    Iam not wrong if you read what you have wrote if you cant see it ive posted here and made it large as you must have poor eyesight
    Do not allow other people to use the badge
    to do something on your behalf, such as
    shopping or collecting something for you,
    unless you are travelling with them
    so please dont tell me im wrong when clearly you are.
    now let this be the end of it.
    iam right and your wrong. :j

    what they are talking about is on street parking. yellow lines.
  • wow really i'd never have noticed :cool:

    and yet dave as we all know if you are in a shopping centre car park run by a store, the bays can be marked for martians if they want but it has no legal standing.....

    I have heard that the 3 Magi parked in disabled spaces when they went to the manger. All other spaces were taken up by the shepherds and their flocks.

    I don't think that their camels got clamped though.

    the advice given is
    You should not use the badge to allow

    non-disabled people to take advantage
    of the benefits while you sit in the car
    then says

    Although it is not illegal for a badge
    holder, or a non-disabled person waiting
    for the badge holder to return, to remain
    in the vehicle while the Blue Badge is
    displayed, consideration should be given

    it is not illegal but very inconsiderate,
    the spaces are few and far between and are neeeded by people to get out of there cars
    carry on using the space the way you want , you cant make or teach anyone to be considerate , being a nice person comes from within you cant force it on anyone , so you carry on as you wish

    if you are going to copy and paste try and copy the whole sentance
    Although it is not illegal for a badge
    holder, or a non-disabled person waiting
    for the badge holder to return, to remain
    in the vehicle while the Blue Badge is
    displayed, consideration should be given
    to using a car park whenever possible
    does not mean consideration should be given as to park in the disabled bay
