Nope. Blue badge spaces are for blue badge holders. Just walk further. Anything else is lazy and rude.
My gears tend not to grind often, but this is one I complained about to the gym, as I know who the twunt was who parked his big, brash jag across 2 blue badge spaces. I've seen him sitting in it, smoking a fag, then getting out and coming in to the gym. It's a gym, ffs, stop smoking and park your car half a mile a way, you need the f*cking exercise.  G

Agreed. Think you might be on your own there, QMac.

What is the second side to this argument? Surely it's never ok to park in these spaces when you're not entitled to?

[I'm keeping quiet, as there's a parking space in my work car park which is marked as "disabled" and which I've parked in several times when it's been the only free space in the car park. But I wouldn't use a disabled or parent-and-child parking spot just for convenience. Nor would I try to police anyone else's use of those spaces.]

[I'm keeping quiet too. My OH gets a bit grumpy when he drives round and round a carpark looking for a space when there's a whole row of empty "disabled" ones free. I've never known him to use one though!]

Apple charging leads. Why don't you make them last longer than 6 months you bandits.

Um, I have twice parked my car overnight in the disabled space outside the next stair. In my defence:
It was after midnight when I parked and I was gone not long after six
There wasn't another parking space within half a mile
The space was bought for a previous occupant of an upper flat who moved out ten years ago and the flat has changed hands twice since
It used to be used twice a day for the visiting carers of the main door flat but she moved out two years ago and the flats been sold
The only blue badge holder in the vicinity is my downstairs neighbours' who have their own disabled space outside our stair
Guilty as charged but I wouldn't do the same elsewhere.

I wouldn't dream of parking in a disabled bay but I have no issues in using disabled loos in tescos
I don't know why and I am sure it is very naughty

Duchess, I can see clear blue water between that and saving QMac's wife a walk across the car park. Unless QMac's wife actually has trouble walking that distance, in which case you have a good case for a badge anyway (my mother has one because she can only walk short distances with a crutch, though she isn't wheelchair bound yet).
