Thread Name: BS: New parking regulations (UK)
Subject: RE: BS: New parking regulations (UK)
Isn't it wonderful how, when a car is parked in a disabled bay, with or without a blue badge, the driver suddenly is able to walk just as well as any able-bodied person! There must be some miraculous healing power attached to disabled parking bays.
I sometimes park in disabled bays with a blue badge although I have absolutely no problem in walking - but only when acting as chauffeur for my wheelchair-bound sister-in-law. If I arrive with the van empty, to pick her up from a shopping trip or the like, it's fairly obvious what I'm doing as it's a specially adapted vehicle complete with hydraulic wheelchair lift. There are many people in my situation who, on the face of it, drive normal everyday cars. Don't be too quick to condemn what you may not understand.
