Photos of no-blue-badge cars in disabled bays??

Lum

Also many private car parks the signs just say "disabled" not "blue badge". Since there's no-longer any official register of disabled people, it's just something you self identify as, then a blue badge is not required to use them anyway.

For example Tesco just say "Disabled parking" so we use their spaces, Morriosons say "Disabled badge holders only" so we don't use them and if we can't find an end space then we take our business elsewhere.


As an aside, I wouldn't recommend using the Tesco-provided wheelchairs if you can possibly avoid it. It may not come as a complete surprise that a manually propelled 4 wheeled device provided by a supermarket turned out to have a wonky wheel and be poorly maintained.


Edit: Re Sarah's post above. It's also worth noting that even if the driver walks away from the car they could still be disabled. For all you know they may only be able to make it, say, 100 feet before chronic joint pain becomes unbearable and they have to stop. If this is, say, a disabled spot outside a cinema then the difference between using a disabled parking space and the nearest free standard parking space could make the difference between them being able to make it to the cinema screen or not.

You have no idea whether or not people who use the bays are disabled just because they are not displaying a badge. That's the point.

You're missing the point, this is why I think going round taking photographs is a bad idea, you just don't know and like I said those that do use disabled bays when not entitled don't really care what anyone else thinks anyway.

I don't see how it would help anyway, who's going to tell them their car is on the website? A non-starter this one is.

I'll take it the answer is nobody knows then....

No, it wasn't an idea, it wasn't a proposal - just a simple question..

I park in the disabled bays outside the entrance to Asda when I go for munchies at 3am.

Does that make me a bad boy!

Physically or mentally?

Supermarket car park disabled bays have no legal bearing. Plus at 3am the car park is mostly empty apart from staff cars. There is still another 30 or so disabled bays unoccupied at that time of the morning.

including an old one from Huddersfield (as I recall) that associated Blue Badge abuse with criminality !

However this means diddly-squat in the context of private parking because the blue badge scheme has no meaning there to begin with!

I'm now disabled under the definition provided by the Equality Act - However it will apparently be some months yet before I can apply for a blue badge.
