It's just not fair! I don't need to say anything else apart from I'll swap my partner's Parkinson's Disease with you and I promise I'll walk a mile to the shops and back again if you STOP parking in the disabled spaces. These spaces are not a privilege or right. They are a necessity. You should be ashamed of yourself and that goes for anyone else who thinks it's ok to use these spaces if you don't have a blue badge. To the lady who parked like this this morning, (you parked across 2 spaces) you could do with refresher parking lessons! Thanks for reading.

It's a pity - I've done a check and the car is taxed and MOT'd, otherwise I could have reported it as illegal.

For anyone who wants to check the legality of a British car, just enter the reg number on:

Sadly, in Spain like in the U.K. many drivers are so full of their own importance that they think they can park where they like with no consideration to disabled drivers or to drivers with children. The number of drivers who park in these spaces or need to park over two spaces because they do not have the decency or ability to park in a single space seems to be on the increase and needs to be addressed by clamping, fines or by Police action.

Unfortunately a situation seen far too often. She ‘’the driver’’ are selfish arrogant people who believe they are above everyone else. If you challenged her you would probably get a right mouthful.

The only way to stop this behaviour is by punitive deterrents. 1,000 fine and vehicle clammed until paid.

It’s the same with driving with a mobile phone, no one gives a toss. But if the fine was 5,000 and you did not get your licence back until paid we would soon see a change behaviour.

Don’t know why spineless authorities won’t implement deterrents that work instead of pussy footing about.
