I was refused a badge as i was deemed not to be partially sighted and able to walk. I didnt complain or appeal or register blind or disabled which I was told I could do. I am now fortunate enough to afford a vehicle with front and rear parking sensors which help me with the parking..

How odd that having one eye does not qualify you to be classed as partially sighted. I can see the advantage of parking in a wider parking bay if it's difficult to see well enough to park in a more cramped space. Do those parking sensors assist with what's at the sides of you?

FAO Jambutty, this was my original post on the subject in the other thread before the topic moved into this one.

As you can see, I was fully supportive of your post and of ASDA's actions.It was you who chose to come down on the side of those who abuse the parking spaces and then chose to argue with those of us who disapprove of that.
