The Blue Badge is issued to a person to be used in ANY vehicle regardless of who is driving it. Whether that disabled person gets out of the vehicle is irrelevant.
If you are a blue badge holder then go and look up the terms of use. If you are not then stop spouting about something you know little about.
The real problem with these Blue Badge haters is that they are jealous and cannot stand to see anyone get something that they cannot.

Actually Jambutty, Davo makes a very good point. Why if you are just giving somebody a lift should a disabled badge holder be allowed to take up a place reserved for somebody who is getting out and shopping in the store, and may have difficulty walking to the spot they have been forced to use, because of the individual's selfish action. That is no different than a disabled badge carrying taxi driver using it when s/he is dropping off a fare and then waiting for the next fare.
This is not jealousy this is annoyance at people who may be using the service as specified in the law, but not using it in the spirit intended.
