    Obviously I don't know how long they've been doing this or whether it annoys other drivers who could use these spaces but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't long before there is a time limit placed on these spaces



    How is that a comparable situation? Non disabled spaced are not at a premium like disabled spaces....might be a pita but not such a big deal if you've got mobility issues

    Of course they are in some places, its just natural that in some areas there won't be enough spaces for people.

    I think unless you have got mobility issues yourself, your not in any position to judge whether having mobility issues is a big deal or not. I reckon the majority of those with mobility issues might disagree with you and would happily trade in their disabilities in order to park just like anyone else.

    sorry what I meant was if a disabled space is used all day by a single vehicle that has more of an impact on other people who could use that space than if an able bodied space is used all day

    It seems to me to be more important that a couple of disabled people can park to go to work, rather than for others just to wander round the shops.
