Re: Handicapped parking
Many healthy people over here wrongly park in parking spaces reserved for the disabled (the word handicapped is frowned upon these days in the UK). My husband was entitled to a disabled parking permit for a couple of years after his illness, but didn't use it latterly as he is quite capable of walking good long distances, further than me in fact.Re: Handicapped parking

Re: Handicapped parking
Parking is an issue everywhere in the United States. I think it stems from a general attitude that laws mean nothing to people anymore. For the first time in my life I knew fear driving to the beach on Memorial Day. I was driving the speed limit and felt like I was parked. Crazies were passing me at 80-90 miles per hour in double yellow line no passing zones. I swear that if I had machine guns mounted on my car they'd all be dead. At least there were police in large task forces pulling them over and giving them tickets. I'm sure those fools didn't care.Re: Handicapped parking
We are very grateful for our Blue Badge. Though hubby is not allowed to drive now, I do the driving. It enables me to park (mostly) not only close to the entrance of shops, but the width of the parking space means that our car door can open wide. We struggle when the gap between parked cars is narrow..not enough room for the wheelchair either!Re: Handicapped parking
Me and OH have blue badges what a godsend. I have arthritis in my spine so can't walk far without pain. OH has rheumatoid and his hips are getting really bad. So being able to park on double yellows has been a great help to us when we go into the city. Obviously park in a responsible way not obstructing any other motorist or private gateway.Thread Tools | |
