Very annoying

I think in South Wales disabled drivers can get a book of stickers which say "You've got my space, do you want my disability too?" to put on the windscreen of the abusers.

Quite effective I think  :D It would certainly make me feel like crap.

I've heard & seen those as well.

We get a lot abusing the parking at the Hospital, especially at our A&E in the Ambulance only area, they'll leave the cars & go inside.

I remember once we had a Peugeot(?) parked diagonally across 2 bays for over 2hours. It was open, but no keys, so it got bumped to one side.

Security begged management to let them clamp it/drag it away, but our weak-willed lot said;
"No, what if we damage it?"

The departments response was that the signs clearly state that; 'the owner has essentially agreed to his/her vehicle being moved/immobilised if they leave it there.
Also, if an Ambulance clips it, they've got no comeback for claiming damages.


Eventually 2 women turned up & found it blocked in by 3 Ambulances (crews 'nowhere to be found' :wink: )
They were of the 'travelling fraternity' & had been to a ward at the opposite end of the Hospital :evil:  :evil:

I think they had to wait another 40minutes for the crews to come back (the messages had got round on the radios & mobiles)
Then a WYMAS* Station Officer & an attending Police Officer both had 'words', but it probably went in & out of the other ear?



What was even worse was, before our Helipad was re-located due to a road re-alignment for the new by-pass,  was the people parking on the grass surrounding it (& even on the drop-kerb allowing Ambulance access!!! :shock:

I remember one even parking on the 'H' & we had the Air-Ambulance on its way!!
Luckily he appeared beforehand & went away with several rude words spoken to him :lol:

Someone got into trouble when he complained, but WYMAS* backed the person up
I believe the Trust got reported to the CAA over this, as the Pilot can, I understand, refuse to land unless he considers it safe.


Sorry for the rant, but if they can't park sensibly at an Hospital, what hope is there for anywhere else???

Last time I underwent PC indoctrination (working in education is a pain in the proverbial at time) we were told not to call them 'disabled' parking spaces as they still worked!. I think we were supposed to call them something like "Parking places with easy access". Disabled toilets = toilets with easy access etc

Personaly I think this would be a step backwords as parking in a space that is 'easy access' dosn't sound as anti-social as parking in a 'disabled persons' space. Not allowed to say "disabled person' either.

The other annoying one on carparks is people who park in a parent and child space and it is mom/dad and a teenager or 2

And the best one I saw was a single woman in a Smart car. I asked he why she was in the mother & baby spot and she said "so she doesn't get it scratched"

That must have been tempting...
