I don't think it is important the previous stop was a clinic etc. what matters is this stop. If the disabled person remains in the car, then they should be using a normal parking space. Apparently it isn't illegal to use a disabled bay in this manner, but is nevertheless still inconsiderate.

Parent and toddler parking space abuse can be even worse, but unfortunately is not covered by any legislation, unless, of course they park in a disabled bay.

I have seen parents park in disable bays with no badge on display .its not just them .good thing if they are caught & fined more should be done to stop the abuse of the facility!!

That Radar Key, Does it give you Access to the "Radar" in Mash? :-D

No, Merlin, Just to "hot lips' boudouir!!

my friend got fined £40 for parking in a parent n child bay, in asda as she didnt have no kids with her

We both have a blue badge but one car and i dont drive. Mine is an advantage for me when I go out with someone else and I cant walk far. I have a radar key, but I fumble with it and can wet myself if i dont hurry to the ordinary loos and trust to luck that i will be able to stand up again!
I mostly shop at supermarkets where we can get the trolley to the car easily as neither of us can carry a load of shopping. I dont mind paying for a parking space, its the room needed to get in and out of the car I want.

My husband is a wheelchair user and I have a print out for people who use disabled bays and don't have a blue badge. "Thank you for using a disabled bay, would you also like my disabilty"
