Parking in a child parking space


I did’t realise @Big Jeff waa checking they matched as he went to Morrisons like.
I have looked for a badge when someone looks like they've just parked because they are wankers.

I had a word with someone in the street who parked in a disable place outside a neighbours house and he said he was entitled because he had a blue badge. I told the bloke it was obvious the place was for the resident and not for his convenience. He walked off, the selfish prick.

TBF, the bloke in the street was in the right. He can park there if he’s displaying a blue badge I believe. If not then he can’t obviously.
 
The badges have photos now.


The photo is for the use of an enforcement officer. The ‘shown’ side of the badge shows the issuing authority, expiry date and issue no.

Sainsbury's in Ely are now issuing £85 (I think) fines for people using Disabled and Parent/Child spaces when they shouldn't be doing so.
They soon stop when there is a deterrent rather than just a sign.

It's just laziness and selfishness - which are very closely related attributes anyway. I hate both.

Sainsbury's Silksworth Lane - you routinely get people parking/waiting either side of/on the zebra crossing or parking in the pick-up bay.
The worse offenders are those who park their SUVs on the cross-hatch area's at the end of the bays - you cannot see if anything is coming and many drivers cut the corners.
 
Easiest way is move the parent and child away from the entrance to the shops and these idiots wont park in them
Defeats the purpose for the lazy parents. 😎

I’m joking, they do make life easier when getting the kids out of my oversized SUV but not a deal breaker. I’ll just park at the opposite end of the car park if there’s none available.

The point is that the space is specifically outside someone's home. Our street gets full and sometimes you have to park elsewhere (despite paying for the privilege to park in the street)

So the disabled neighbour could be royally fucked if they get home and cannot get parked outside.

Whilst the bloke was legally in the right he should have realised what the space was for.

Right. So if a blue badge is on the dash then there is no way of knowing it is fraudulently being used.

Spot on. Parents with young children tend not to be the lazy types. They just want a bit more room to be able to open the door wide, get the kid in etc. I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with a slightly longer walk that the lazy arseholes seem to have.

I usually park right down the bottom, often next to the poor old sod who comes to watch the world go by sitting in his little red car and eats his sandwiches
 
The amount of times I drive past our little Tesco and someone has either parked on the road causing a queue to get past or drove onto the grass, just because they can’t be bothered to pull into the car park. **People really are bone idle.
**You need to add the word "Some" or "Such" here I think.

Agree he was acting the dick.
 
Sort of related, about 9 years ago my wife and our 3 year old went to dunelm Mill (or similar). Anyway there was no space either side so she had to get the bairn out of the car and fit the buggy up at the rear. She was just strapping him in when she caught movement out the corner of her eye. This was a large suv type car rolling backwards towards her and the bairn. She had no time to get out the way so she tried to push it away screaming for help. She couldn't. It hit the bairns buggy side on. It wasn't traveling fast but the buggy crumpled a little. It did however save my sons life and he was unharmed. Turns out some dopey wifey had parked in haste and ran into the shop without the handbrake off in neutral. Its much safer to secure the child at the side of the car without traffic moving behind you.
They are for kids who can't walk too far, helps them to keep the weight on. I had kids before there were kids parking spaces...there were no problems.

Scrap them.
I mean, there’s a very simple reason they’re sensible quoted above for your convenience.

Kind of. It depends whether my kids are having a day where they fancy running across a busy car park or not.

i think most parents wouldn’t have a problem with a longer walk as long as it was safe. Further away from the door but with a car-free path would be fine for me.

The problem is that kids are not very tall and dart about so are much more likely to be hit. The spaces need to be avoiding any traffic in the car park. Anyone who objects to them being close is likely to object to anything.
 
If you park in a disabled spot any questioning looks you get soon go away if you limp heavily when you get out of the car
 
Mess of a woman at tesco last week with a two seater sports car parked in a child and family spot.She was carrying nappies back to the car mind.

The ones at my local Sainsbury’s are further away from the door than the blue badge ones, but right next to a covered pathway that leads directly to the door. I don’t have to walk across anywhere where cars are going to drive.

Although you’re right, people complaining about parent and child spaces are just whinging for whinging sake. Mate, you really don’t want my kids running out in front of your car. It’s better for all of us if they’re close to the door and I don’t walk in front of you.
