No not bad just inconsiderate and couldn't care less.

Disability is no fun stop taking the mick.

Sat here in my wheelchair I know it's not

Disabled spaces are disabled spaces 24/7. Restrictions may apply to other spaces, but not disabled spaces. You need to pay the fine I'm afraid.

[anonymous-user]

I'll try and be sympathetic, nope not happening..

Good, pay the fine and learn your lesson.

I can see where you think you are coming from, but you have misunderstood as I guess you now know.

You were caught, and now you are almost certain to have to pay the fine I'm afraid.

You parked in a disabled bay without a parking badge and got a ticket.
Stop whingeing, man the fk up and pay your fine. There's a good boy.

Is that correct in every case?Im sure I have seen some disabled bays that were time limited.
Does the OP have a street view link?Or a link to the parking TRO?

My neighbour only needs to use his wheelchair between 9am and 6pm. At 6pm his legs grow back and he regains his mobility. Sadly a 9am they wither and shrink away to nothing again.

Benefits?

Many are timed. OP, we need to see the signage

[caziques]

Surely if it's timed from 9am Monday to 6am Saturday, then anyone can park from 6am Saturday to 9am Monday.

Need to see the exact wording on the sign.

[MikeTFSI]

In Lincoln we have disabled spaces that are only reserved 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. Outside of those times they are not disabled spaces.

[WaferThinHam]

Timed disabled bays near me too, grab a photo of the sign and take it from there.

I find this hard to believe but happy to be proved wrong...

[dsmith1990]

They do exist - the disabled parking bays outside Epsom police station used to be time restricted. Each bay had a sign above it to make it 100% clear in fairness. Not sure if it still applies as it has been a while since I parked in that section and they've recently jacked up the charges again!

This case sounds like a misinterpretation though.

Reduced tyre wear and he can walk home from the pub.

Not the OP's space, but an example of a timed disabled space.

[Hugo a Gogo]

used to be a disabled spot outside my old flat, only in effect from 8am to 6pm

every morning a motorbike cop would pull up before 8, if a car was there it would be towed by 5 past 8

I annoyed him a couple of times by strolling out at 7.59 and driving off, just as he had his pencil ready
