Simple Answer IIRC - Yes, but not on junctions. They cant park on double reds though.

Yes they can but the blue badge must be displayed.

dont the yellow lines on the kerb stop anyone parking at certain times of the day

Someone said on here before that yes, they can - providing that they are not causing an obstruction. Which raises the question of why there are double yellows there in the first place.

Again it varies but I avoid loading markings as some Rita's have trouble enough with plain double or single yellows!

Friend of mine nicked a disabled driver for parking on zig-zags. We should still park responsibly. Even on double yellows if it's shite parking, tickets will flow.

disabled drivers are a law unto themselves.

Disabled drivers think that just by flashing their badge on the dash board they have the God given right to park anywhere they like on double yellow lines.I have double yellow lines outside my business premisses car park and the the numpties still block access to my car park and leave their cars there for hours on end.One of them responded to my complaint by saying he fought in WW2 for the likes of me.How's that have anything to do with the price of milk I don't know.

Your Blue Badge does not allow you to cause an obstruction, nor can you ignore loading restrictions.

If there were no double yellows, where could disabled folk park?
