Disabled car park.

I would never park in a disabled spot although it is infuriating when they are empty in busy carparks. I have parked in mother and baby slots, with permission from the supermarket, and received verbal abuse from able -bodied parents because they can't park close to the store. Felt no guilt about that whatsoever.

My understanding of parent & baby spaces is that they are wider to enable parents to safely get the child out of a child seat belt and/or into a buggy. That would mean the extra width is protecting other cars from scratches, as well as the safety of parent and child. Nothing to do with the able-bodied

I did check Tesco's this morning. Their parent & child spaces are extra wide (like the disabled spots).

I found that sign confusing, I think it means you can park if you're disabled but not for free.

That is exactly what I thought, Allsorts.

The disabled person you give a lift to
should apply for the disabled sticker and use it in the vehiclin the vehicle they are having a lift in!

Some car parks are free for disabled drivers or passengers when you display your blue badge . Some are free if you display your blue badge but want you to set the timer as it can be for a limited time . Some have disabled bays and you have to display your blue badge but you have to pay for parking . Always read the payment sign .
