“If you are a badge holder, it can only be used for your benefit. If a trip is for someone else and you are a passenger and staying in the vehicle, you cannot use the badge simply to let them benefit from free parking.” I’d like to see someone prove that. What about, “I took xxxxx out for a ride to get him out of the house for a while and he asked me to call in at xxxx and get him a bag of sweets etc.”

Re: It Pays To Complain.
I understand what you mean. A disabled driver who quite legitimately holds a blue badge is abusing the system if he/she parks in a disabled parking bay purely in order to allow an able bodied person to get out and go shopping and the disabled person stays in the car until the able bodied person comes back. That is not being done for the benefit of the disabled person and they should not have parked there morally even if by a technical loophole it was argued that they are parking there legally.

Example Able bodied daughter takes disabled mother to Asda to get disabled mother's weekly shopping. She parks in disabled bay, displays blue badge, she enters Asda, mother stays in car. This is not wrong. However Able bodied daughter decides she would like to buy a new top for a night out so decides to go into town. Doesn't fancy driving round looking for a parking space so takes disabled mother who is clutching her blue badge along with her. Parks in disabled bay, displays blue badge, mother stays in car, daughter pops to the shops. This is wrong. Do you see the difference?

Re: It Pays To Complain.
you should be a shamed why would you want to syop some one with mobilitie problems from getting close just so you get free parking and let your able bodied person get close you are wrong and should admit it never mind prove it .if a warden came up to you and asked why are you in the car and you said i have dropped some one off to shop you would be booked

The bottom line is that it would be almost impossible to prove that the badge holder is using the badge to take people shopping. Although I agree that if that was the case it would be wrong.
