Following The Disabled Parking Space Asda Tragedy

August 6, 2013

This is a great piece that sums up thoughts and feelings that any Blue Badge holder can relate to. If supermarkets can’t enforce the rules on Blue Badge spaces, could they instead consider creating a few more Blue Badge spaces?

I speak as a Blue Badge holder. When I told my mother about the tragic incident at the Asda store, she asked if both men had Blue Badges. Because we have seen far too many people parked in these spaces when they don’t have Blue Badges.

I will never forget one time in a supermarket when someone who didn’t have a Blue Badge asked to see ours when we asked to see theirs! When we showed it to them they drove off muttering something along the lines of “the only disability she has is in the head!” To be fair they hadn’t actually seen me walking…

    one good reason i don’t wont a blue badge despite my doctor saying i should have one as i can only walk in pain which doesn’t go down to well with IDS hense you get no points for pain

    my advice is still the same if you get out of your car and can walk you could be abused verbally by a whole load of people plus the council will just end up following you around so it is nowt worth the hassle hence i don’t wont a blue badge

    if you cant walk great should be no problem if you can walk thou you better watch out as where i live anyone walking is followed by the council
