No ,but you can ring parking services and they will give them a ticket ,but then i would be ringing them all day long .If someone is disabled and has a blue badge then yes,park there all day long ,but if not then no.

honestly i dont think they would get a ticket even if its reported.

Its a pain and unfortunate yes, especially as you have verbally informed the person who parked there of your mothers situation.

It all depends on the type of bay it is:

A disabled bay road marking may be ‘advisory’ or ‘mandatory’.

•An advisory disabled bay road marking is not enforceable

No action can be taken by the police or the council if a non-disabled person or indeed another disabled person parks in the disabled bay

•A mandatory disabled bay road marking is enforceable by law

We can take action against anyone parking in the disabled bay without displaying a blue badge

If they shouldn't be there then it's they fault. It wasn't until my wife get a badge that I have taken any notice of them but it is amazing just how many non badge holders use them.

Not sure I agree. Many people have acted in hast and then had to live with the consequences.

If the op waved a hammer about just to scare someone / prove a point, she could end up in a lot of trouble...

Also there are plenty of people that will happily resolve a dispute with violence even if they are in the wrong...

It is things like this that grind you down over time and can cause you to snap...

So maybe the post could have been put slightly different but it is putting a vilid point across...

Do you have any idea how difficult and time consuming it can be to get a disabled person in and out of a car? Blocking the road with cars parked on both sides getting someone into a car is an obstruction and nuisance to many other drivers. Hence why they have bays outside their house so they can take twenty minutes getting in a vehicle without bothering any other road users.

I pulled up in a disabled bay and the alderly couple next to me where just abut to tell me off an were cleary upset. When I opened the door the young gentleman in my vehicle just smiled while siting in his wheelchair. The old gits still never smiled or acknowledged they were in the wrong..

I agree that they shouldn't be parking in your mum's bay afterall it's hers outside her home.

Some people hey.

Buy a clamp... Put it on yourself, leave a note to tell them you've clamped them. Get them to ring you for removing it. Take your time....... Don't charge (that would be illegal!) just waste their time.

Traffic wardens have targets they need to meet every month. They will come out to issue a ticket.

I don't think that the scheme is well policed at all.

Not quite the same, but still very annoying, I watched a woman park in the pick-up bay right outside the supermarket and then watched her do her weekly shop with a trolley. Why do the rest of us have to find a parking spot, but she thinks that's OK?

I do have one , or use one to help two disabled people ( not for personel use)

I live in London and I'm not sure if you drive round here and need to park and carry tools. It's a nightmare.

I can fully understand people without badges parking there but it's different if the person is not the driver.

Not all disabilities mean you are a wheelchair user. Walking can be impaired but not require a wheelchair.

I have found that legitimate blue badges get misused by family members using them when the badge holder is not present, but even then you don't know if they are picking up the badge holder.

It could take up to 15 minutes to get my aunt into the car when she was particularly weak. Getting the chair into the car after getting her in also took time. Finding a space near the house is challenging enough.

I have found that legitimate blue badges get misused by family members using them when the badge holder is not present, but even then you don't know if they are picking up the badge holder.

I have been stopped and questioned once cos they thought I was abusing the badge. Only I had parked with the blue badge further into city centre near the banks and then my mother walked to asda which was a bit further up. At which point she couldn't walk back cos she was in too much pain. So I thought I would move my car to asda to pick her up and park just outside.

Sometimes wardens can be unreasonable but if you can prove your story then they obviously don't pursue it.

My youngest son has a blue badge because he has a serious chronic illness but to look at him you wouldn't know anything was wrong

He walks normally

My daughter has the blue badge, when she's driving my car she uses it. When I'm in the car by myself and she's left it in. I turn it upside down. Cause I know the penalty for misuse of a blue badge. Not only do you get fined but the holder loses the badge. I'll go into a supermarket and park in ordinary spaces. What's the problem in walking extra 20 30 paces too entrance.

Both my daughter and ex need the badge.

People if they are not stupid ,know they are not supposed to park on a disabled bay,only badge holders,the trouble where i live is you can only park on one side of the road as there is a river opposite,so parking spaces are limited,but still no excuse.They have the parking scheme here and if you havent a permit you have to feed the parking meter,so I'm sure most park on the bay as they dont want to pay.

We had s badge for three years while our eldest (2 1/2 at the time) was receiving cancer treatment under GOSH. The amount of abuse we got from the older people sometimes was outrageous & in front of a child. More than once I used the "Do you have cancer? No? Then piss off then" had one guy up against the wall once, he was perfectly healthy with a mouth like a sewer and I just snapped because he wouldn't shut up..

Sorry i missed that. All i am saying its not possible for everyone to do what you or i are capable of doing. If we had to park half way down the street that wouldnt be a problem for us. In my case my mum didnt have strength to do that so the disabled bay outside the house was very helpful.

Apologies once again

Putting up a camera on your property facing parking bay might be good idea with notice saying unentitled people parking here are being filmed. Could be a false camera but might put some people off
