Disabled Badge Misuse
Has anyone on here had neighbours that are misusing a disabled drivers badge and if so how did they go about sorting the misuse?
Our neighbours got a disabled bay put in for a partially blind mother (supposedly) basically the mother never gets in the car and all it means the obese daughter always has a carpark space and still she doesn't actually show the badge even though i've asked her to display it.

Re: Disabled Badge Misuse
as far as i'm aware disable spaces in residential areas are not subject to parking restrictions unless they are accompanied by a restriction sign. they are given out as a courtesy. due to the bay being at a home address for the use of the disables person there is nothing you can do and even the issue office department at your council will tell you to fek aff. there is no need for her to display the badge while parked in the space buuuuut misuse of a blue badge elsewhere is a big no no.
unless your area is subject to parking permits there is nothing you can do. |

Re: Disabled Badge Misuse
Theres no sign I'm tempted to just use the space...
It's basically been put in place because the fat heifer next door couldn't open her door when other cars were parked.

Re: Disabled Badge Misuse
be thankful then that your car is not getting dented with her getting in and out now.
use it all you want m8 but it is frowned upon and you WILL have to relinquish it if the disabled person needs access. well actually thats not true as long as there is sufficient access for the disabled person on the side that they need it. if the bay only has space for 3 cars now then technically they are all now disabled bays. |

Re: Disabled Badge Misuse
We had an MCC member who was a horrible man. He used his blue badge outside Lord's in a bay put in for a local disabled resident and put the badge in the window. The badge we actually for his disabled wife, who he rarely had with him, he just wanted free parking to watch the cricket. Then his wife died but he continued to use the badge. A few staff rang Westminster Council and reported him. Badge taken away.

I think for a blue badge to be legally used the actual person to whom it applies has to be using the vehicle,not some other family member.

Re: Disabled Badge Misuse
That is correct. So when I go out with Coolgirl, we use her badge legitimately as she is visually impaired. But I couldn't just borrow it because I fancied cheap parking.

Re: Disabled Badge Misuse
Would never dream of using Peg legs blue badge if he wasn't with me, but, I've often thought that the fat blobber down the road that uses her mums car and badge, permanently, without her mum ever being around, should get shat upon by a godly seagull for doing so. Even seen her sat in a disabled bay stuffing her fat gob with Maccy Ds at the local Asda... Mum still not there
