--- Quote from: "att" ---I always park in the parent/child parking space when out with my mum, she may be 62 and myself 42, but we are parent and child! :wink:
And just what is it about having a child that makes you unable to walk any distance......Wonder what it was like before we had cars.... :roll:

I've had a number of discussions with parents who reckon it's ok to use the disabled bays if there aint a parent and child bay around.
One daft bint was shocked when I pointed out that those with disabilities had no choice in the matter. Maybe she was a pro-lifer... anyhow... when she said parents had no choice about having kids... I suggested she and her man could have remained celibate... she didn't like that one bit!
At the bank on Monday and a mother was loading her precioussssssss into the car seat so I asked if she had a disabled badge... she tried ignoring me... HA!
Asked lots of polite questions, kept prompting her for a response. Finally she snapped and threatened to call the police and have me done for harassment... "Please, please, please call the police" was my response! Can you imagine...?! I would probably have been advised not to be offensive or combative, to which of course I would nod politley and say yes sir. But I feel fairly sure she would have had a talking to as well!
I used to carry business cards that I had made up at home with a disabled symbol and the following:
You have parked in a diabled bay without a disabled badge. Is this the ONLY time you put yourself in their place?
Must print some more up.

Oh yes, I forgot to add, my mother has been disabled since the age of 49 and has a disabled badge for parking.......It is nice to abuse others parking bays as a disabled ticket holder..... :twisted:

I agree in principle with disabled bays, it is the ensuring that they are used by bona fide disabled drivers that needs looking at. I don't agree with parent and child bays because where do you stop? EDIT
If the car parks were arranged in a herringbone pattern then you wouldn't need Parent and child places because the car park places would be easier to access

now that is a good idea, Skibum.
I was at our Asda store in Wakefield and with having three young children i do like to park in the parents parking, ( saves the kids knocking the doors on to other cars as the bays are wider)
well after waiting paitiently for this couple loading their shopping in they got in and manouvered out of the space,
so i waved my hand out of the window at them, they stopped " whats wrong" i replied " youv'e forgot your kids" well you can guess the reply i received " <edit> 4x4 driver "
as like the above post .. abusing parking spaces, in our market place there is free parking, only in one area , so why do taxi drivers use this space to park for free, when they have an allocated rank?
all you get is blank looks when you ask.. :oops:

It is that extra bit of space given that allows you to open your door properly to remove car seat :wink:
Saves me bashing someones door in when they park too close :twisted:
Guess you not tried it?
