i think your all being a bit harsh here, who hasnt parked in/on a disabled bay / mother and toddler bay / yellow lines / loading bay etc shall i go on
so dont be so quick to condem and by the way if search around on google a bit i think you will find these sort of tickets from supermarket/shopping centre are in no way legal

I for one have never done this. Not because I am a goody goody but for consideration for others. Sorry sounds a bit old fashioned but then I am an old fashion girl.

How selfish can someone be? You know you shouldnt do it but you did. Someone could have needed that spot and even if there were 100 empty disabled spaces, tough. You took a chance and got caught. It sounds like you have done it before.

Now youre thinking of yourself again and whining about a £20 fine. SHUT UP AND PAY. It should be alot more.

I don't think you can compare parking in a disabled bay to the others.

When my daughter was young there was no such thing as mother & baby bays. I managed fine. But disabled people really need those spaces.

Your wrong i have a pair legs so i dont see no reason why i shouldnt use them, im not lazy, id rather pay the fine than finding a letter from debt collectors or who ever deal with non payment,

you do the crime you pay the fine is what i say

I dont approve of your actions but basically, Asda dont have a leg to stand on. If there were signes displayed you are technically in breach of contract (you accept Asdas tearms once you have parked in thier car park). The thing is, they are only allowed to re-claim any costs they have incurred as a result of you parking in the disabled space. To claim anything more than this could be considered as a penalty which is not legal. You can get more information from the forums on the consumer action group website. Adsa would have to prove they were out of pocket due to you parking in the disabled space - since it is unlikely they could prove this it probably wouldn't stand up in court.

Err, me? I don't because it is inconsiderate and I have no problem walking from a proper parking space to where I am going.

Thanks for all replies.

At least we've all had a good moan

I haven't ...well only when I'm with my two disabled parents with their blue badges.
Sorry I have no sympathy because I have a hard time getting dad in and out of the car when selfish people who do not need wide bays use them meaning that disabled people can't.

What's the saying if you can't do the time don't do the crime!
