Bad parking of a RANGE ROVER EVOQUE
Discussion
Were you not in a disabled bay?
If not, may I ask why not? Also, you really, honestly don't know what is wrong with that woman.
A good friend of mine (now departed) had terminal bone cancer so had a blue badge as his legs were dodgy. To all intents and purposes he looked fine, driving up to the disabled bay in his Porsche 996 Turbo. A very slight limp when he got out, but it didn't stop lots of people with more visible disabilities shouting abuse at him regularly.
When he finally snapped back at them, telling them he had 3 months to live, they usually shut up.
Moral of the story? It's all about context.
RIP Si

No. She wasn't displaying a blue badge.
My friend had his stolen a couple of times out of his car, leaving him without one for a fair length of time.
What I'm saying is - you are the one being a tool here by assuming and judging this woman with absolutely ZERO facts.
Had you gone up to her, ascertained if she was/wasn't disabled, did/didn't have a badge etc then I'd give a crap a little more about your input.

That's where your wrong because I do have the facts and she was reported. I only use a disabled bay if I'm going into a shop and not for the convenience of my passenger. You are being the tool thinking you are right. But I welcome your negative feedback as it shows you are the type of people that use these disabled spaces too if it suits. I don't sit stalking these spaces but observe this happening every time I go out to the shops, hospital etc.. It looks like your conscience worries you more that you might get publicly humiliated? And as lots of cars carry these HD cameras now you will probably find yourself on there soon.

Being paralysed from an operation and needing disabled parking I get annoyed to see ignorant people like this thinking its their right to use them if there are free spaces still available. Please watch and comment.

As everyone else has said, there are lots of reasons you get a blue badge. It's not just that you're wheel chair bound.http://youtu.be/9pTVs74WVKg
But you're right if you drive a mobility challenged elderly relative into one of these spaces you do get a 'should we be here' feeling when someone less mobile pulls up alongside
How would you grade blue badges vs parking places?

No, I don't use these spaces. Read what I wrote above about my friend and I strongly defend those who need to use them.Had you made it clear in your original post that you had got the facts, I wouldn't have questioned it.
You still come across as though you have a massive chip on your shoulder though.
