If only the abled bodied person is going to leave the vehicle, then it should not be parked in a blue-badge bay. If it is parked in a normal bay, then it doesn't matter if someone - disabled or otherwise - remains in it.

That is correct and exactly my point

Because some disabled people have trouble walking.

But if they are not getting out of the car when they are in the disabled bay they won't need to walk on that occasion

@pattricia- if the car is not parked in a disabled bay, there is no need to display the badge - whoever is in it.

We are talking about disabled people sitting in the car in a disabled bay while an able bodied person goes in the shop

You may be, but the original question was; does the disabled person have to get out of the car - which was subsequently determined NOT to be in a disabled bay at the time, but unnecessarily displaying a blue badge.

My comment originally was referring to disabled bays because it was suggested that disabled people can sit in the car IN A DISABLED BAY while the able bodied person goes in the shop.  I am not daft enough to think they can't sit in the car in a normal parking space

Fair enough, but Pat was specifically asking if the disabled person had to get out of the vehicle, and later advised that the car was parked in a non-disabled bay. In that situation, it doesn't matter who is sat in the vehicle.

So, back to square one !If the car is parked in a disabled bay, does the disabled person have to get out of the car with the driver ?

Yes

I wouldn't think so - but why would you park in a disabled bay if the disabled person wasn't going to get out of the vehicle?

If in a disabled bay the disabled person DOES have to get out of the car.

Not wishing to argue, but please advise which legislation stipulates this?
