I occaisionally park in one when all ,the dimwits bart kids have parked in the parent and child paces. Wouldn't have to if there were not apparantly more disabled people than people with young kids (judging pro rata by the number of spaces provided) or normal spaces were big enough to extract from / strap in an infant in a child seat without scraping my doors against the adjacent cars. Aslo given the fact that 95% of people I see with disabled badges all appear able bodied to me. (including mi fatha!) rant over.
Ask the same question at www.pepipoo.com and www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk in the relevant "parking ticket" forums. They'll be able to give you specific info relating to your appeal.
Can I exchange my blue badges for the health of my daughter? I'll gladly give them up if it means Laura can live a 'normal' life, with the possibility she may live long enough to see adulthood. The badges are never used unless Laura is with us, before anyone makes some snide comment. Do I have any takers for the exchange?
And the same with mum who's only 1 leg......... Would rather pay £20 everytime i park up, than having to struggle each time to get her out and have her being wheelchair bound for the rest of her life
