Disabled badges are there for a reason, and it's not for the able bodied to abuse. I know - My wife has one and needs it.
You got caught and I am glad. Pay up!

Your lucky, They had a clampdown in Birmingham and towed cars away after watching able bodied people walking
away from cars parked in disabled bays with blue badges displayed and other abuses of the BB system.

Your mums not in the car and the journey is not directly related to picking her up or dropping her off, So you should
not be using it. I have a BB for my MIL but i have never used it.

Even when she is in the car i dont want to risk parking in the wrong place at the wrong time & get a ticket.

Some disabled blue badge holders CAN walk away from their car, my dad for instance - he needs his blue badge, but would probably look just fine walking away. If they genuinely did do that, I hope they'll get sued by anyone who was genuinely allowed to be there.

They must have watched them and checked, None of the cars shown on the program actually
had the badge holder present, One guy said his mum was shopping in the town.
When asked where abouts so they could contact her, Turns out they can phone her at home.

TOWED...

I know what you mean though, Some of the programs make silly comments. If i was stopped they may
as well throw me in jail there and then, I couldnt pass some of their tests.

Must be guilty because the driver has no ID. I never carry anything except my phone on a cord. Anything
in my pockets touching my leg causes pain. If my wife is not with me then i have no paperwork.
