Clamping offending cars would soon sort this out but the supermarkets don't seem to be interested.

Just putting up a sign warning that you will be clamped would sort out most of them, as they wouldn't take the risk. Cheap, easy, no clamp, staff or paperwork required.

A Somerfield near me has 18 parking spaces in its car park: 11 of them are reserved for the "disadvantaged minorities" !

61% for the minority
39% for the majority

Discuss !

Surely a good idea would be to stick a car in a disabled bay and put a clamp on it as a display of what will happen to other drivers Maybe big pieces of paper wall paper pasted across it "car clamped - awaiting lifting truck"

Undoubtedly it is a small Somerfield, probably in a small quiet village where lots of old people live and the disabled spaces are needed.

the wort offender i ever saw doing this was a fat girl at mcdonalds,she didnt have a badge but i think she was disabled as she didnt even have the ability to park the car in 1 disabled space,she parked at an angle in the yellow grid part between 2 disabled spaces,rendering both useless,the car park was very busy but she quite happily munched on a burger inside.

bare in mind, my local Maccies tell you go park in the disabled bays if the grill bays are full (which it sounds like they were)... you dont know there wasnt a great big van forcing her to park like that 2 minutes earlier..

not defending, just saying think out of the box :beer:

the company i used to work for (in Manchester) the cleaner used to 'buy' his disabled badge from someone every 6 months. Parking costs are nasty in Manchester.

Dont no if this still goes on

£60 fine in our local Adsa in a few weeks, same for mother and toddler but these are now for children up to 12 yr. Good work from Asda but a cop out on the mother and toddler bays.
