, but claiming they do not deserve a blue badge ON THE DAY THAT YOU SEE THEM is very closed minded. or a lack of thought. You would have no idea of any pain they are suffering despite showing no outward sign of impediment.
Quite so, unless you have Xray vision how would you know.As well as Arthritis I also have heart disease. I am limited by how far I can walk without experiencing pain but unless you knew me you would not neccessarily be able to tell.
Although now Sainsbury's in Newton Abbott are displaying signs saying that people parked in disabled baysI do think its criminal that an ordinary driver may park in a disabled bay and face nothing more than a normal fixed penalty fine (at worst... supermarkets do nothing at all) however misuse of a blue badge (such as it accidentally remaining on display from a previous day) when the disabled person isn't in the car nets a £1000 fine.
who aren't blue badge holders are at risk of being clamped. I don't know if they actually would be but the threat is there.Another problem I see is that there is a difference between being "Registered disabled" and having a blue badge and one can be registered disabled without having a blue badge.
