Right i want complete honestly now please,no one will know what you voted unless you tell them of course but i just want to know out of interest.

Do you park in disabled parking bays when all the other spaces are a mile away from the shop? Be honest!

no because my sister has a disabled child and i know how frustrating it is for her trying to find a space. i dont park in mother and child bays either!

Only when i was driving my dads car. as he was disabled so it was ok I hope you mean when your dad is with you,as the badge is for the person not the car. My late hubby had a disabled badge due to his ill health,and many times we couldn't parking due to spaces being taken by able body people. The staff a Tesco's are very good and would have them removed.

Cant they clamp people who are on a space when they arent disabled and are not displaying a badge?

We dont, because disabled parking spaces are where they are for a reason (for example, because they're closer to the shops entrance, or whatever). We sometimes park in the "parent and child" places though, because my mother says she had to walk half way round the car park with me, when i was a kid, so they should do the same. Thats just her opinion though!

No i don't and I don't generally get to park in the parent and child ones either as where we live, if the disabled spaces are full, they park in those instead, so i end up having to struggle to get the boys out...hey ho..

omg thats exactly what my mum says. if there arent any other spaces she says shes going to park in them cos she managed to cope getting me round a carpark so why shouldnt everyone esle. the stupid thing is, some of the mother and child spaces are closer to the shops then the disabled spaces which i think is stupid! we would never park in a disabled space though

My Dad does it all the time. Disabled places (he thinks he's allowed anyway because I had a disabled badge up until 3 years ago, and in his opinion it should never have been taken away), mother and baby spaces, the trolly park, double yellow lines, the middle of the car park, you name it!
