Do you use disabled parking bays with your blue badge in your motorhome when out on the road? Would you park overnight in a disabled bay, assuming there are no restrictions signposted?

I need an "agree" button.What really winds me up is people ignoring the invalid signs and treating them a ordinary Very Good parking place.

I’m the same and need the doors fully open to get in and out. Last week we went to our local home bargains and the car in front of us pulled into the nearest available disabled bay to the door then got out and sprinted into the store as it was pouring down.What really winds me up is people ignoring the invalid signs and treating them a ordinary Very Good parking place.
Supermarkets are the worse because they are on private property and no one will enforce them.
It's mostly the younger idiots and and often asians that have no respect for us old dodderers.
My wife can't use regular parking bays now because she needs to be able the doors fully.
If the signs are invalid then why not ignore them? . Or are they signs for invalids. In which case does that make invalid signs valid?. Isn’t language great? Funny too. I love how it works.What really winds me up is people ignoring the invalid signs and treating them a ordinary Very Good parking place.

From 2006 I was and still am given black looks on occasion by our elderly members of society even though I myself turn 60 next year.It's mostly the younger idiots and and often asians that have no respect for us old dodderers.
I fully support the blue badge parking options, but I don’t like it when the badge holder appears to be the driver who then stays in the vehicle while able bodied passengers go shopping from closer to the door

I used to get that - until they saw the wheelchair!From 2006 I was and still am given black looks on occasion by our elderly members of society .
As I understand it that’s invalid use of a badge. It’s to enable the holder, whether driving or being driven easier access to a location.I fully support the blue badge parking options, but I don’t like it when the badge holder appears to be the driver who then stays in the vehicle while able bodied passengers go shopping from closer to the door

I think that would be a step to far. What about all those disabled who need able bodied assistance once out of the car?I think that if the driver is not the disabled person then the car should be moved to a "normal" space if practicable.

I do think that parking in a disabled space without a badge , and using a disabled badge fraudently should be made much more serious offences though.
We have a blue badge for FIL and use it when either of us are driving him, we need extra space for FIL's wheelchair and often in car parks only the disable spaces are free for blue badge holders so we consider it totally valid to use whenever he is with us.I think that if the driver is not the disabled person then the car should be moved to a "normal" space if practicable.
