Got asked afterwards did i feel guilty the answer was NO. I would do it again.
He quite possibly could have been giving items to oxfam and that could be the reason for him parking on the disabled space infront of this shop for a few minutes.
I know lots of people with disabled badges who are not disabled enough to warrant a badge, a lot of them exaggerate their disability to get better benefits and a perk of this is a disability badge.I only have sympathy for the elderly and genuine disabled who are the minority badge holders.
I would think twice before acting like a idiot and parking your car across another and blocking it in.You might get your own car damaged or your tyres puntured doing a trick like that, unless that badge of yours is more privileged and allows you to take the law into your own hands.
