Blue Badge Abuse
rangerider:
Hide down the street until you see him about to drive off, then block him in & start the delivery, but dont rush - just point out to all the other irate motorists your reason for not being able to park properly :)

Hate people who abuse blue badges, also people who park in mother and child spaces in a carpark and get out with no child. When I have to find a space miles down the other end.
And breath. :evil:

I stopped a young man in the Ikea car park last time we were there, as he was parking in a parent and child space with not a child in sight! He said his child was in store already with his parents, as he had dropped them off at the door. I told him if that was the case then fair enough, but if it wasn't then he shouldn't be parking there as it pees me off that people continually park in the spaces and have no right to, when we do!!!!!!!
Also old people like to park in the spaces allocated for people with children! That annoys me too! Do they not understand there is a reason for the wider spaces - it is to stop kids like Conner slamming his door into their car door as he opens it, for space to get child seats out too and for room to get pushchairs alongside vehicles!!!!!!!!!!
PARK WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PARK.
(Blimey I am doing a lot of complaining of late) :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have also found with my local Tesco that the staff use the disabled bays as a staff car park at night. They arent supposed to, complain to the manager, it goes to how it should for 2 weeks then they start parking in it again.
The double yellow line law for parking with a blue badge is a bit iffy, i am not excusing the pillock for his attitude, but if parked on a double yellow line and there is a disabled bay free (this only has to be when the traffic warden walks past after you have parked your car and left it) then he can ticket you.
Also was reading somewhere (possibly on here) or heard on the radio how someones elderly disabled mother was fined for putting her blue badge the wrong way round! Now thats bad!
Another one was my local tesco fined a disabled driver £60 for parking in the disabled bay for longer than 3 hours, she had severe breathing difficulties and it took her 4 hours to do her shopping on her own as she had to keep taking breaks and sit down. The management never did waive the fine even though it was proven she was still in the store and not someone who parked there and then went elsewhere!

Thats real bad. I am shocked :shock: How do they get away with it.

as far as I know though, tesco etc car parks are private land and there is nothing to stop you parking in disabled bays/child bays (besides irate pensioners and mothers!!)
My local asda got some disability friendliness award a while back because their trolley staff approached non-disabled people etc and politely asked them not to park there.
