Experienced this one today blocking the in-laws drive.
Her excuse was that she just thought it was an alley, wtf that makes it ok I have no idea as even if it was just an alley it's very obviously in use.
What makes it even worse is that the house she was visiting is the one on the left of the picture. ie the one with a massive amount of empty drive to park on!
I thought then you were referring to the LR that is almost off road. In fact all wheels on hard ground!!Her excuse was that she just thought it was an alley, wtf that makes it ok I have no idea as even if it was just an alley it's very obviously in use.

my friend used to have a 911 and park in disabled spaces!
he had terminal cancer and was registered disabled from the chemo.
people would always shout at him as he got out for his tiring trip around the shops.
he'd just shout back "im disabled not bloody poor!!"
haha

t that's why. It *was* when I posted it and even checked with incognito but it seems the path has now changed. Hopefully fixed now.Sticks. said:

In my experience poss partly that, more a case of people expect you to be using sticks or wheels imho. but don't a second look to an old person getting out of a brown austin allegro

Even worse when we had the MX 5, I had to pull her out of the seat sometimes!
And we *may* have done it deliberately if some old biddy was giving us the evil eye

Also at least some of those looking will be looking to see if anyone needs help.

To me, what this is saying is that many people feel protective of disabled spaces for disabled folk. A good thing surely especially as they are mostly not policed by the stores or the authority. The only thing that people who care about the abuse of disabled spaces can do is try to make abusers feel guilty.

You're right and, in all seriousness, I don't mind so much. Some can be a little 'over protective' though.Also at least some of those looking will be looking to see if anyone needs help.
I wonder what proportion say something to the store/car park owner, I bet it's negligible. At some point the large retailers might realise the financial potential of encouraging this sector a bit more https://www.gov.uk/government/news/high-street-cou...
