As long as the car is being used on a trip for the disabled person's benefit it does not matter whether the disabled gets out of the car or not.
Example
Able bodied daughter takes disabled mother to Asda to get disabled mother's weekly shopping. She parks in disabled bay, displays blue badge, she enters Asda, mother stays in car. This is not wrong.
However
Able bodied daughter decides she would like to buy a new top for a night out so decides to go into town. Doesn't fancy driving round looking for a parking space so takes disabled mother who is clutching her blue badge along with her. Parks in disabled bay, displays blue badge, mother stays in car, daughter pops to the shops. This is wrong.
Do you see the difference?
