NON disabled drivers at Asda
 

On Thursday last I took ma -in-law for our weekly foray into Asda Accy.

As she is disabled, I aim to park in a disabled bay, (providing she remembers the blue badge!) and after a couple of circuits of the car park we eventually find one.
When we return to the car, as we finish loading the bags, a young man screeches into a space a couple of cars away, he leaps out and legs it into the store. Haha methinks, he did not appear to be very disabled, and on closer inspection of his car, what was not there? Damn right - a blue badge. (No valid tax disc either, but that's another story).
So, Ma-in-law insists we go back and complain, as when she forgets the badge we park in an ordinary bay. We then counted 8 other cars in the bays not displaying the badge.
Customer services told us that there was nothing they could do except ask the drivers to move their cars. Now I don't know if the drivers/passengers of these cars are disabled or not, but I thought the criteria for using the disabled bays was that you have to DISPLAY a badge.
Anyway, we were told that from February parking attendants will be patrolling the car park and issuing tickets to those who are parking without badges.
So to all the disabled parking bay pirates - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

its just the norm here in accy.there is no one to implement these laws as each legislation gets passed in parliament our council does nothing..the accy police does nothing. so really our parliament is a waste of space until it is law for the powers to be prosecuted for not implementing the legislation:)

Adsa dont do parking attendants and dont think they have the power to do anything anyway. Until it becomes strong and this country becomes strong on law breakers of any level people will not respect it.

Perhaps there could be a system where those who abuse it are actually made disabled and see what its like. :mad:

Asda should employ people to clamp them and charge for unclamping.

Some people who WOULD qualify for a disabled driver badge prefer a disabled bus pass instead (me). I am not allowed both, but on the very rare occasions I visit Asda I still abide by the rules -- just choose a time to visit when I am in with a chance of getting near the entrance in an ordinary space.
