max Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Whatever you do don't challenge them: One in three keepers of cars illegally parked in a disabled space have a criminal record, contrasted with 2% of legally parked cars Source: ILLEGAL PARKING IN DISABLED BAYS: A MEANS OF OFFENDER TARGETING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 People parking in Mother and baby spots gets on my cupcakes! Nothing worse than someone getting on your cupcakes I often see the lazy and ignorant nipping into spaces for the disabled and/or for mother and toddlers.

Stranza Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't mind mother and baby spots. It's a pain when you park in a normal space and get out only to see a car seat in the back of the car next door then you have to get back in and squidge up to the car on the opposite side so the other car will be able to open their door fully to get the baby in, hoping your not inconveniencing the other car too much by leaving them a small gap. Not sure why mother and baby have to be close to the store I would put the bigger spaces in the less used area of car parks where their is less demand for normal ones.

I often see women, parking in the mother and baby spaces, who seem to have forgotten their child. They have a baby seat so I know they meet the mother criteria, but child is nowhere to be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckysmith18 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I was in Meadowhall carpark the other day and 2 cars in front of me took the last 2 mother & baby spaces - none of them had children with them, leaving me to struggle with my baby and pram...I approached one of the car owners and pointed out that the space was for people with buggies only to be told 'i got here first so tough' - IGNORANT!!! These allocated spaces are there for a reason, i wish people could just be a little more considerate and realise that parking an extra 10ft away in a normal space will not actually do them any harm nor will it impact on their day in any way - however their selfish actions do impact on disabled people and mothers with buggies in quite a big, annoying way!!! Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 What are your thoughts on Mother and baby spots? My thoughts - Put them at the FAR end of the car park. However there is one recent addition that's far worse imo The "electric/low-emission" spaces that have appeared near the front doors of Asda (Handsworth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
