spider1 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 There's no trolling involved. It's a perfectly valid use of the badge to pull up as a healthy partner/parent/carer/friend then go inside to collect the owner of the badge, and sometimes it's vital to be able to do that because of the sort of help that the owner of the badge may need. Monkey104 did not say that he parked for hours in a bay outside the hospital doors, he said that he pulled up outside the hospital to pick up his wife, which could be for merely a few minutes. monkey said.. // I normally park in the disabled bay, jump out of the car and walk in Huntsman entrance.

Yes, he's fit as a fiddle and HE'S GOING TO COLLECT HIS WIFE WHO HAS A BLUE BADGE! This is part of what the blue badge is supplied for. If my partner drove then he'd do similar because it would be more convenient in all sorts of settings for him to drop me off and then go off to do his own things or park elsewhere. He'd still return to park to pick me up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are not reading this correctly are you. It is my wife's badge who is disabled. I, on the other hand am quite fit. I take her to hospital for physio drop her off and i go for a run. I come back, park in the disable bay or across from them, go to pick up my wife and help her to the car. Where is the trolling, what am I doing that is not acceptable? I am there a couple of mornings a week in a silver discovery, in running kit. Please feel free to approach me to discuss if you like, I am quite amenable.

DT Ralge Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Although there are bound to be abuses of the blue badge system I do wish some would think before criticising. 20 years ago I was in Meadowhall with OH and mother-in-law. My mother-in-law had forgotten something in the car and my OH returned to the car. We had used her mother's badge to park close to the shops. The OP or someone similar had a choice word or two for my wife (able-bodied with badge) about parking there etc. Her Mum had lung cancer and died 6 weeks later. Rushing to judgement and harsh words from the ignorant risks a whole load of upset, I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
