    And they should be fined for doing so.

    That kind of behaviour used to be endemic in Liffey Valley shopping centre a few years ago where non badge holders would pull into the disabled spaces to wait for someone simply because they were close to the door. I remember the Gardaí visiting a couple of times and having nice chats with some of the drivers while writing them a lovely note.

    Yes indeed but it's common to find very able lone drivers taking advantage of blue badges to park up in disabled spaces or for free in non designated public spaces.

    I remember in particular watching a fit looking lad park and sprint from his car only to run back to toss a blue badge on the dash. I've seen many instances over the years of people abusing the blue badge/designated disabled spaces which I find far more reprehensible than someone parking in a supermarket family space.

    I wouldn't be one to use disabled or courtesy spaces, but you aren't the law mate.

    If you or anyone else with no right to be doing anything of the sort, took it upon themselves to block me in, I'd aim all 22 stone of my tired old former rugby playing body in your direction and I'd slap you so hard, you'd end up back up inside your Ma.

    Never be anyone's vigilante lads, it can get you in fierce bother.
