    It has to be morally wrong for a BB holder to stay seated in a parked car in a BB space if there is no intention on the part of that person to leave the car. There is absolutely no reason why a conventional space could not be used. To do that is inconsiderate in the extreme and not showing any respect for others who NEED to use the spaces.

    Unfortunately it is impossible to tell if there was an intention to leave the car or in fact whether the person had left the car and now returned, or intends to leave the car in a while.

    Only the holder of the BB will know and it is only their morals that will be troubled (or not).

    If I ask a friend or relative to take me to pick up my prescription. When we park using my BB, then I decide that I will not get out. I ask my friend to pick it up for me. Why then should I have to ask him to drive round looking for another space when doing me a favour? That’s the least I could do is not to let him walk far.

    Why should he (a non-disabled person) be able to park in a disabled space, if you're getting out? Will you & him please think of other disabled people who need that space and intend to get out of their car.
