I doubt you could post something like that these days, it might cause upset and be against their human right.

The number of times Ive seen folk park in a disabled only spot and then get out and shoot off like Usane Bolt Ive lost count of. Rolling Eyes

Parking - inconsiderate.
Response - totally unacceptable. I hope there was cctv of sufficient quality to identify this idiot and get him prosecuted. All it demonstrates is road rage at a standstill. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

You can't always judge a book by it's cover. My Wife is disabled and has a blue badge. on a good day she can park the car and just walk away from it. On a bad day she can't get out of bed. When she manages to she needs help to get dressed.

You wouldn't what her illnesses or have to take the amount of medication she has to.


I hope he gets caught and prosecuted.

Serious reply this time.

There is a British Standard size for parking bays but it apparently is not a legal requirement so tight fisted developers ignore it so they can squeeze more vehicles into a given area.
Complain to the manger and say you will go elsewhere (even if you cannot) and you will recommend everybody you know to do the same, and make sure he/she gets the message pasted up to senior management.

As said previously, there was no way of knowing who the person was or if they had any impairment whether physical or not. A simple note would have done the trick and wouldn't have broken the law. The person who let the tyres down was another Ronnie Pickering in my eyes.

It's unlikely, but who knows, such actions could ultimately cause someone to lose their job or even cost a life one day. Freelander 2 2007 TD4 Manual HSE Tambora Flame
