This has annoyed the shit out of me, I gotta say.
Why do people with a disabled parking badge think its perfectly acceptable for them to park in a mother and child bay?
Anyway,there has been a bit of a debate over this issue in my local paper, and all of a sudden pops up this idiot of a woman with this letter:
" I WAS enraged by the letter criticising Disabled Badge Holders for using spaces designated for Mother and Baby ‘Do you think you can just park anywhere?’ (Dear Star, February 19).
If a Disabled Bay is not available, or indeed, not convenient, of course we can park elsewhere. Spaces for Mother and Baby are a convenience, not a necessity, unlike Disabled Bays.
For a disabled person, parking space near the shop is something which allows them some quality of life. All too often we have to walk a long way into the supermarket because inconsiderate, ignorant people have taken up all the designated bays because they are too lazy to walk a few extra yards.
Parents with prams do no need their own parking bays, but seem to have this idea that because they push a pram, the world owes them a living and politically correct idiots pander to this silly notion.
Until a few years ago these bays were not even heard of.
I fail to see why a fit and healthy, able bodied person needs to park right outside a shop just because they have made the lifestyle choice to have a child and bring that child to the shops with them.
Disabled people have no choice or control over their lack of mobility and in general, need wider spaces for wheelchairs, and spaces near to the shop entrance, to cut down on the distance they have to walk.
In relation the lady’s comment about her getting a ‘mouthful of abuse’ from a disabled couple who parked in a mother and baby bay, I would question what she said to them first, that she warrant that reply?
If it was anything like the rubbish in her letter, I would say she probably deserved it.
Personally, I would think that any disabled person taking up a parent and child bay needed the space more than me and thank God that I was able bodied enough to walk from a space a little further away from the shops.
Why do we give spaces so close to the shops to parents with children anyway? Surely a space away from the main body of traffic would be safer? i.e. further away from the main entrance.
Leave the spaces near the door for disabled people and those who are able bodied, please be more considerate about where you park."
Please tell me she is in the wrong about every point she has made because I am absolutely incadescent with rage at the moment regarding the stupidity of this woman!!!
