So what if i gave them my ticket, have non of you passed on a part used ticket , or received one from someone else and used it.



If I had I would have been breaking the law, so I will not admit to doing any such thing!!

They used a normal parking bay because the disabled ones were full.
I think you could be totally wrong.

They could use a normal parking bay, as I said?
I seem to be right.

I'd be interested to know why they need a disabled badge if they can quite clearly use a normal parking space.
I could be totally wrong, but it sounds like someone's fiddling the system to get free parking so good on the parking attendant for fining them, if that's the case.



It's not a question of the nature of the parking space, but of availability.  Yes, some may be larger to cater for wheelchair users, but the point is they are RESERVED spaces designed to allow disabled people to go about their business with minimum inconvenience.

Are you intimating then that blue badge holders should not use normal parking bays ?

There is one solution to all of this.......(although some won't like it)


Go back to the old days. Simple.

If you fulfill the criteria for being issued with a blue badge.....you get one of these...

(free to park in a disabled bay, no ticket if found parked in a standard bay, and unlikely to be used by someone not disabled, or joyriders).
As I said...simple
