Thread: Disabled Parking WTF

Not sure that we all fall into the category of scum bag.....

I do wonder at sometimes watching people get out of a car that parked in a disabled car park with a permit as they look quite able bodied to me....it appears they are abusing the system. I have no doubt it would be frustrating for legitimate users looking for a park.

Good on your wife for parking where us scum have to park every other day.

Parents and babies and Prams can be a handful in a standard size carpark.....although I would park further away than everybody where nobody parks and walk/push the extra 50m.

My pet hate Chris

Sorry she had to get that kind of rubbish hurled at her ..

Sorry if you take offence to the scum remark I should correct that people that carry on like that are scumbags .
We see it everyday but it is the normal able bodied people that use disabled parking that are scum bags using this description loosely
Changed post so as to not offend the precious able bodied pram pushers .

I have often thought pregnancy and babies should get priority parking but also think getting exercise is even better for almost all of us. I also like parking a long way back to avoid the mass of people who only park at the door or gate of schools or shopping centres. At the school Zone is gives me a chuckle to walk past all the cars queuing to get to the front gate.

On the people with Disabled permits 10 point for not using the place when not needed.

I do have a mate with a permit and he cops a fair spray at times as his illness is not always evident. (MS)

Now we dont abuse the right to park in disabled parking if the son is not in the car we park with everyone else ,
Well this morning swmbo goes shopping and she rings me with in about 10 minutes of leaving home .
Shocked at she got abused for parking in a normal car park by a woman in her 50`s Yelling at her why if she has a disabled permit that she is taking a normal bodied persons car park spot
Now i have been in her car driving around for ages with the son in the car looking for a disabled spot which are few and far between i will say but how many bloody baby with pram parking spots are there dont start on that one
This woman was lucky she caught swmbo on the hop any other time she would have copped a nice ear full .
I can only dream what i would have said or done if it happened to me

There are only so many disabled parking spots avail at any one given time, so if they are all in use then what do people expect others to do, drive around for a long time until one eventually becomes available or leave and come back another day. I would have had a go at that woman.

I also have a disabled parking permit, they are not easy to get, but I do think some groups have doctors that seem to give them away freely looking at the local Bunnings disabled parking
Masters used to have all the mothers with prams parking so close to the entrance, yet disabled parking was put further away. makes no sense if you ask me.

It is against the law to use a disabled park if you do not have a disabled permit.
It is not against the law to park in a only baby and prams area

You can actually buy fake AU disabled Parking Permits in Bali , i could not believe it when i seen them at a stall in legion .
