What also amazes me is the sheer amount of 4x4 and bmw drivers around london who are disabled, always see them parked in disabled parking bays and yep most do have the disabled badge in their window allowing them to park there, but when you watch one of these 'disabled' drivers running back to their car or walking quite happily you have to wonder what their disablity is, spesh when i know of ppl with genuine disabilities who cant get a blue badge because they are not disabled enough (one of them is wheelchair bound!)
(yes i know some of those ppl in london who look to be able bodied are carers or married to or have children who are genuinely disabled but they tend to drive slightly less expensive cars, actually have the disabled person with them, have various other stickers on their car asking politely for other drivers to give them a bit of space when parking for wheelchair access etc where as the bmw drivers and 4x4 drivers do not...)
There is now i noticed in NW1 London, a group of ppl who are checking up on blue badge holders with official backing by the police to stop these kind of ppl abusing the system, disabled parking spots are provided for the disabled and not some rich fat cunt with no disabilities to park for free all day next to his office, i feel quite strongly about this kind of thing, i hate it when those who are obviously much better off than others and can afford to pay for parking etc take advantage of those less able and less well off forcing them to park in normal spaces and pay the full amounts.
