Misuse of a Blue Badge is a serious offence.
Non-disabled people who park in a bay designated for Blue Badge holders
are liable to a parking fine.
Hi
In this case there was no mis-use of the Blue Badge the main reason being is that the person driving the car was NOT on a public highway, he was on private property which does not come under any traffic regulations.
Its the same as double yellow lines on private land, they mean nothing at all.
If the driver had parked on a public road then yes he would be liable to a parking fine but he was not, he is in breach of a so called contract which is not worth the paper its printed on.
I was under the impression he was parked on a normal public road, I have never seen anyone issued a private ticket................. it's just usually a wheel clamp.... and you have to pay the bill...... I'm certainly going to look up the site you have posted....
The point about the Blue badge.......... is that the disabled have the right of access to a taxi..... but the law restricts the Taxi Driver from having a Blue badge unless he is disabled himself........... you use their own rules against them and then hammer it home with the disabled lobby protecting their own rights...... you have opened this issue up in a different way which should be interesting.... thank you.....Trevor ...
