What indeed? The other point is how would they identify an empty car as one that does not have a child with it? Asda senior management haven’t thought things through.

The fine would be enforceable if notices to the effect were displayed prominently. It is private land and as such the landowner – Asda – has the right to make such conditions.

What Asda would do if someone refused to pay up is another matter though. Wheel clamps maybe? But that wouldn’t release the parking bay for a legitimate user.

I think that Asda should put a large flyer (at least A4 (approximately US Letter)) on the windscreen or rear window to declare to the world something like, “Please do not park in bays reserved for xxxxxxxx” in as large letters as possible. Then put out a call for the driver of the vehicle and get them to move it right away. Then if the driver doesn’t respond clamp the vehicle with a £60 release fee.

In fact come to think of it maybe Traffic Wardens and PCSO’s should also carry such flyers to use when inconsiderate motorists park in disabled bays on the public highway.
