Why would they want to find another mode of transport if they have their own car?
On a small note, I'm not registered disabled. I'm visiting the hospital for treatment on a fort-nightly, sometimes weekly basis for a period of 5 months, ending in May. So I think its wrong to persume only the disabled will be visiting the hospital on more than one occasion.

ALSO, what about a non-disabled person, visiting a sick person who is in the hospital long term? Still paying..

Perhaps what the answer would be, is to have the ticket machines in use for every visitor/patient, but have a card which can be given by a member of the NHS staff to allow a free exit from the car-park. (Ie: to regular visitors such as a disabled person visiting frequently)
