Handicap parking

So I just left the store and I parked in handicap and when I parked, there was an older gentleman watching me and when I got out, he said something to me. It really hurt my feelings because I’m just like you don’t know what I do with on a daily basis just because I don’t look ill does not mean I’m ...

Parking in a disabled parking !!

Don't you hate those horrible evil eye people, giving you the hairy eye when you park in the disabled spot. I get the Rangers pull me up and check my photo on the sticker. I get your not crippled so why are you parking there. Enough is enough I yell back " "take my parking and take my disease " An...

Temporary disabled parking permits

My latest relapse has really affected my mobility. I've bought myself a scooter which really helps give me some independence. I've got two young children, so it means I can now do the school run, get out the house to see friends and other parents. When venturing out of the village where I live thoug...

MS Society response to pavement parking

Cars and vans parking on pavements. Not illegal it would seem and evermore common practice among ‘some’ car owners. It affects many pedestrians including mothers with pushchairs, power chair users, blind and partially sighted, and children. Pavement parking compromises visibility, creates un-pass...

Parking Ticket

Hi, I've just come out of a restaurant & returned to my car (parked in disabled space) and noticed a ticket - I'd forgotten to put my badge on display! Can I dispute the ticket? Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips on the angle I should take if disputing it? Thank you

Car sticker for disabled parking

I've been watching videos on YouTube about people being questioned by other disabled blue badge holders on whether they should be parking in disabled car spots because "they don't look disabled". I think it's disgusting. If anyone said that to me, they'd get their answer. I have to admit. When I par...

Blue badge parking

I am feeling quite annoyed by what may or may not be misuse of the blue badge. I do not wish to be judgmental, but I find it quite hard to feel charitable when I am unable to get a disabled parking space and yet I see people who can apparently easily get out of their cars and can actually return ca...
