P and c spaces are a commercial tool. And they are certainly not legally enforceable.
Disabled bays are a legal requirement and are there to, rightly, allow disabled people an equal opportunity to park and shop.
P and c bays are a supermarket tool to encourage big spending parents to shop with them. They don't give up a very valuable 10% plus % of their parking capacity for good will. They want the revenue from mums.
I've never heard of a supermarket "fining" someone for using p and c bays without a child ( which, by the way, loads of parents admit using with an empty baby seat in the car).
If you are happy to toe the corporate line and follow the crowd in thinking they are some kind of disabled bays for parents then that's your prerogative. I see them for what they are, a sales tool for the supermarkets.
If a car park is full I'll use them, if a car park bays are too close together I'll use them. If a car park is mostly empty, I'll use them.
They are there so parents can open car doors fully to extract or insert children without damaging some pr!cks TVR parked next to them.Disabled bays are a legal requirement and are there to, rightly, allow disabled people an equal opportunity to park and shop.

I have numerous children and numerous supercars but I would never choose a supermarket because it has parent and child spaces and if you think people do then you are in some kind of fantasy land. They are there to make parents' lives easier so when morons like you prevent that it does grate somewhat

which kind of re-enforces my original assessment of you, i'll be keeping my eyes out in the TVR forums for the "Parked my pride and joy in a P&C spot and some scote has keyed it!!!" thread.Disabled bays are a legal requirement and are there to, rightly, allow disabled people an equal opportunity to park and shop.

Yesterday I circled a car park twice and there were no spaces, except for a parent and child one. So I took it, and walked away feeling a bit guilty. I've no idea why... it's not like parents have a priority to shop over me... so I quickly got over it.
Might do it again and broadcast, just to p*ss people like you off!

The old lady was right.
Nothing clever about parking in drop off or disabled spaces. Doesn't matter what car you drive.
If we all went around doing exactly as we pleased the world woudn't really turn for much longer would it.
The fella probably thinks he's something special just because he walked into a glass room one day and said "one of those please".
if he'd been parked there for (let's say) 15 mins then the old biddy may have a point, but just 'cause he's got a nice car doen't mean he can't be using it for the correct purposeNothing clever about parking in drop off or disabled spaces. Doesn't matter what car you drive.
