How the flippin heck can that be classed as anything but supportive of disabled drivers/passengers?

I do not approve of able bodied people parking in disabled parking bays. I have never parked in one when I was a driver, nor have I ever been in the car of an able bodied person who parked in one.

I have been a passenger in a car whose driver was disabled and who parked in a disabled bay in order for them to go to wherever they were going. I would not expect them to park in a disabled parking space for MY convenience and I still maintain that anyone who uses their blue badge for the benefit of an able bodied passenger is ABUSING that badge and being unfair on a disabled driver who might need that space.

You originally claimed that you had done just that. Now you have changed your story to claim that although you had an able bodied passenger you also went into the shop. Which is of course perfectly legitimate reason for parking in that parking bay.

I am totally baffled as to how you can see someone defending the rights of disabled drivers as being jealous of them.

There were people in these two threads who looked at other people's needs above their own and yet you who claim to be looking out for those less fortunate than yourself gave the impression that you didn't give two hoots about any disabled driver who was being denied a parking space whilst you parked there and waited for the return of your able-bodied passenger.




The idea 'entered my head' when you changed your story about sitting waiting in your car in the disabled parking space to a totally different tale about you also going into the shop. Why did you lie in the first place? Why did you continue the lie and encourage people to believe that the only person who went into the shop was your able bodied passenger?

Have you actually read what was written and more importantly understood?

Stanaccy guessed that I was winding people up and asked the question. So I admitted that I was to see what sort a reaction I got. You can carry on harping about that till the cows come home but it will not alter the reality of the situation one iota.

I dismiss the rest of your verbal diarrhoea as the ravings of a self opinionated woman who has to have the last word. You can have it.
