I thought parking in a disabled spot was bad........

KwackerJack

Really......how ignorant & lazy do you have to be?

But I suppose it's an M3 so obviously the driver owns the road

So what if the reg is posted. Anybody walking by can see it too. Really don't understand this hiding the reg thing. Same with cars for sale online, if I can't see the reg to do a check on it then I'm not going to bother looking any further into it.

No one is doubting that. It's the knob heads that drive them that's the problem.

People that park in a disabled space and have no need to park there need to be cornered up and given a good puck in between the two eyes when caught in the act.

It was only a fortnight ago I confronted a BMW driver reversing out of a disabled space at my local Aldi, he continued to reverse out while I asked him why he felt the need to do it and drove over my foot.

Fortunately I wasn't hurt and the wheel somehow just went over my foot without doing any damage at at ll. Same can't be said for the driver though as I landed a lovely one right on the gob through the drivers window.

That wasn't long shutting him up and I'd be pretty confident that he won't park in that particular space again.

NIMAN

There are FB pages called "Parked like a cnut in (insert town name here)", which show idiotic parking all over the country.

I think its fine to show reg numbers of people who park illegally. Its their own fault. And if I did so myself, I would have no complaints at my reg being shown.

Good man Tommy I wouldn't like to meet you in a dark car park late at night you sound very strong and tough.

Car over the foot? Didn't even feel it. Then threw a punch in through the window!

You sure showed that imaginary bmw driver who was boss.

Also, how dare you accuse me of driving a BMW. That's the worst thing you can say about someone.

bmwguy

Tommy the other day I was going shopping in marks & Spencer's and to my horror I found a driver of an inferior, cheaper brand of motorcar trying to park in the bmw spots. When I approached him to ask if he was lost and offering directions to the nearest German discount supermarket where he would fit in more he continued to reversed and wouldn't respond to my questions, just drove off embarrassed. I didn't resort to violence though, I just decided the shame of driving such an unimpressive vehicle was punishment enough for this poor man.

That's about as true as your story

You're not related to a guy called Trent by any chance?

KwackerJack

I don't see the issue in showing the reg. It's seen by thousands of drivers every week and unless your a guard or similar its not like you can see the drivers address and details.

Also I drive a BMW & the M3 is very nice however like other models it turns some drivers into gob****es.......

2 weeks ago in Clarehall a Muppet in a range rover with the hard man vest, grey shirts and steroid muscles parked across 2 disabled spots......how much of a thick ignorant so & so do you need to be not have common sense and manners!

Are we really turning into a world where nobody gives a balls about common courtesy

A lot of overreaction going on here... if a disabled person goes to a supermarket and cannot park in a disabled spot, can they park in another spot or do they have to go home?
Besides, aren't these spaces only a courtesy and not legally designated.

No it isn't. The ref on a car is permenantly on public display and the person obviously has no issue parking his easily identifable car like that. It's not like someone rooted in the glove box and found a letter with his details on it and posted his address.

I think you'll find that the disabled spaces are larger to allow someone to get Into and out of a wheelchair.

Common human decency would think that you wouldn't use one if you didn't need it.

Legally you require a disabled parking permit in order to park in disabled parking space. If you don't said have permit and park in a disabled parking slot well then you'll be fined in accordance with the law.

In relation to whether or not a disabled person can park in another spot, yes they can as long as their disability allows them too. If it does not well then they will have to go elsewhere or even home as you said.

I was going to reply to this telling you were absolutely wrong...but on looking into it there is indeed no legal obligation to provide disabled parking spaces. It's up to the local authority (oh...dear!) to request these during planning applications.

In the UK there's no minimum number of disabled spaces required but you can be prosecuted under the Equality Act 2010 if you don't make enough of an effort to ensure disabled people aren't unduly disadvantaged, e.g., a large supermarket car park with 2 spaces out of 1000 is taking the piss compared to say a small business which might only be able to allocate 1 in 10.

Or maybe you just assaulted a disabled driver who happened to drive a BMW .................... What a hero.

Do you work for hire? There's a kid with Downs syndrome down the road from me. He makes some noise around the place from time to time. I need a hero to come over and batter him. What's your rate?

Wigglepuppy

Erra he made it clear that he has contempt for people who show no consideration towards disabled people so that's a pointless analogy.

It could have happened - don't know why people are so confident it didn't. If it did, I don't like violence but hard to find sympathy for the driver.

I got clamped for parking on double yellow lines in that Aldi car park while the sales rep with no disabled permit on display on his BMW got away with parking in the Disabled space. I hit him after I politely asked him why he felt the need to park there after he reversed out over my foot.

Reason I had to park on those yellow lines was because I didn't have enough space in any of the standard parking spaces to transfer my daughter who has Muscular dystrophy from my car into her wheelchair.

I won't be coming over to your place to hit that child.

You're being a dick.

Wheelchair users aren't the only people classified as disabled and would probably account for the smallest number of disabled drivers. A larger space doesn't mean they can't get out of their car in another spot, does it?

A private car park owned by lidl/aldi isn't subject to the same laws. Other car parks have wider spaces or spaces designated for cars with children on board but it is not violating any Law to park in them without a child on board.

No it's not a joke. People are overreacting. Parking in a lidl car park disabled spot isn't a crime. People are equating parking in a disabled space (even when there are other disabled spaces available) as a personal assault.
