[silone74]

Hi and i have been watching people lol so to speak that use blue badges and i have seen that so many people that have a blue badge could easily and i meen easily use a normal car parking space they dont need the extra wide space i think the badges should be colour coded as in wheelchair users need the wide spaces so make there badges say red and make the parking bay red badge users only the other think is super market car parks dont get checked for blue badge abuse or lack of a blue bagde that park in the disabled spots they say as i have asked alot of times that they can not do anything about it? It actually amazed me how many older people that have no bagde park in a disabled car space more than the younger ones and give me dirty looks when i pull into a disabled space because i am young until that is i get my chair out then they give me a little smile to make up for the distain they put upon me.
it pisses me right off and it gets to me more each time i go shopping or into town.

I agree that wheelchair users need the wider spaces, but bear in mind the sci's that can walk a bit, but have crutches, they also need space to get out of the cars, need doors open as wide as possible in some cases, if next car to close, they cannot just slip out of a half open door.
