Over here in France, our disability spaces have a sign saying''If you take this space will you take my disability as well?" seems to work well with stopping able bodied drivers using spaces meant for people that need them.

crafting cockney I would be inclined to send a letter to tesco head office pointing out that the staff of that particular Tesco are infringing the rights of disabled people. Maybe the manager would not be so cocky then.

I have reported Tesco staff to their head office. They park elsewhere for a week or so then they're back. Today I see that about six bays are shut off to accommodate a large cabin to advertise eco awareness.Perhaps the every little helps only applies to them and their staff.

Craft name and shame the Tesco's in the local paper im sure then some big wig may get off their fat behind and have a word in a few peoples ears.

My badge is for 2 of my grandchildren, when they are riding with me.. Too young to drive, and allowing someone with severe autism behind the wheel is incongruous anyway!!
I have had many disgusted looks from others, I only use the disabled parking when one of them is with me. Other people do not realise that if we park far from the doors, it could be life-or-death if one ot hem bolts across a parking lot. The badge is in their name and can be transferred from my vehicle to their mother's vehicle.
One man was furious when he saw me re-enter my vehicle, told me that if I was going to park in the disabled parking spot, "at least you should limp", more ignorance about unseen disabilities.

My disabilities dont show, apart from walking badly, if at all at the moment. Ihave had arguments with drivers who park in a disabled bay, just for a moment, and then are gone for an hour. Its not neccisarily the cheap parking, but the space to get in and out of a car, and nearness to the shops. Never had that problem in Tesco's car park, but Coucil car parks yes, though me have a good warden who books them as soon as he sees them.Spot the spelling mistake!

You have hit the nail on the head Jean, it's the space we need in the disabled spaces. It is dangerous for me when we have to park in a normal spot, oh has to get my wheelchair out and put it on the road then somehow get me to it and in it. We were just about to pull in to the last empty space when a young girl shot into it, got out and ran into the shop, she must have known we were going into it by the way our car was pointed and indicator going. I don't think there is enough disabled spaces as they are always full and yes they do have the blue badge showing.

Caz I really would have parked right behind her and boxed her in, and gone and done my shopping. She would have felt an idiot trying to report you for doing so...and wouldn't have done that again.

I have tried shaming T****s and they only care about their profit margins. When they were having our ;ocal store refitted all the builders' vehicles were in the disabled bays. When I complained I just got a shrug of the shoulders and the reply that it was easier for them to carry the fittings in parked closer to the shop entrance!



We do park on double yellows in the high street if there are no spaces at all. We can do so quite safely and not impede the traffic. The alternative is going home!
