The system is about disabled people being able to park closer to an enterance, not allowing them just to take up a space whilst the passenger gets out to take care of buisness. A disabled driver is not just a taxi service for an able bodied person, if thats the case here are taxi ranks in most town centre so the able bodied should use them

You really need to read the Blue Badge rules jaysay.

The Blue Badge has to be displayed so that the serial number and expiry date is easily visible through the windscreen and must be accompanied by the “clock part” (except in Scotland). The photograph is on the other side of the badge and is there to establish that the person displaying the badge is the rightful owner, if asked to by certain officials, like a traffic warden, policeman/woman/community police person or car park attendant where there is free parking for badge holders.
