Parking at Tesco.

System

And also worth remembering

The Blue Badge Scheme does not apply to off-street car parks, for example supermarket car parks.

If someone is to proud to apply for a badge then they cant use the bays harsh but only way the scheme can work.
As I have found to my cost pride costs both financialy and practicaly if you have been refused a blue badge and you meet the criteria you should appeal and ask GP to help.

Its the abuse of the system I get annoyed with as the stickers say "you have taken my parking space do you want my disability as well":(

I come into the pride criteria...I keep hoping I will magically get better :rotfl: so have not even attempted to apply for a blue badge.

Come now, I'm hardly pontificating. I'm merely pointing out that this is a civil matter and comes under contract law, and you do not have the right to park as you wish on private land. Feel free to check this with a legal advisor

If you knew anything about contract law, you would realise that just because someone attempts to insert a clause into the agreement, it does not mean that clause is valid.

I would do that too if it was safe for me but as I am in an electric wheelchair, I am seated lower down and sometimes cars don't see me so it would be dangerous to park across a car park if a car was reversing for example.

Same here, I have been reversed into twice because the drivers dont look properly before reversing, I am the same hight as my 8 year old nephew in my electric wheelchair so they could also be reversing into a child but they would probably see the adult with them.

Have you noticed how more people seem to think they qualify to park in a disabled bay when it's raining!

Of course you can use the bays without a badge. (private car park obviously)

To restrict their use to those people who have blue badges is discrimination.

You have been pontificating and quoting utter rubbish.
You have stated that on parking on private land, a contract exists. It doesnt, not even any implied contract.. Youve been spouting total scaremongering rubbish.
Visit https://www.pepipoo.com and attempt to spout your rubbish there and youll soon find out that you are totally and completely wrong.
In any worst case scenario they could only claim for any losses, which would be the parking fee that was originally asked for. As most of the PCN's are issued for overstaying in free car parks, they would have no loss.
I have 5 PCN's in my file, issued by idiot parking companies attempting to embezzle money out of me. Ive stated quite clearly to them that I am quite happy to see them in court if they will back up their 'contract' assertions. None have, none will.
Thats why 99.99999999 % or the privately issued PCNs will never get to court. They would be thrown out.

Shes a cheeky !!!!!. If it were my mini I would wipe the lipstick off with her head.

Thus showing what is wrong with the UK in one short post, well done for that.

It is pure selfishness to use spaces allocated for others.

But is normal practice where I live. And to be honest all over London from what I have seen.

Ever noticed how many people park in the parent and child spaces that have no children?

Then people with a similar, me, me, me attitude then pull open the rear doors of an Ambulance when you are doing CPR to ask why you are parked there as they need to get past, obviously the bright yellow paint, flashing blue lights and "Emergency Ambulance" signs where not as obvious as they were meant to be. They moan when you tell them where to go.

These same kind of people also know their rights innit and believe the Polce and NHS is there just to sort out their minor domestic squabbles, after all they pay our wages don't they.

Though when one 30 yr veteran was told this he replied by saying.

"Thank god I have found you!"

"Could you give me the £300 missing from this months wages as I have to go shopping tomorrow"

I personally wouldn't reply like that, no, I just state that I must be self employed then as I pay more of my own wages than they do!

Indeed.

It may be wrong to react in the way the lady did with the lipstick.

But it isn't the fact that you can legally get away with parking in these spaces due to it being private property that is the issue here.

It is the fact that large swathes of the UK population have little or no regard for anybody but themselves.

I am fed up going out to war veterans that didn't want to trouble us when they were having chest pain, due to all the other emergencies we have to attend, when in fact we are attending selfish !!!!!! that are so self absorbed they don't realise that to dial 999 because of a minor issue that you have recieved treatment for yesterday simply because it hasn't cleared up yet, even though they were told the antibiotics would take 2 or 3 days to reach a theraputic dosage in the body.

I have watched this country change over the last decade, and not for the better.

The rights of the criminal are more important than the rights of the victim.


Has anybody ever wondered why the largest groups leaving the UK for Aus, NZ and Canada are Police and NHS workers?

You may think I have waundered far from the OP's point, but there are many symptoms for what ails the UK. Some more and some less obvious. The one the OP has seen is just one of many problems in the UK.
