Let alone park in a designated disable bay. If you saw any of these people Derek Rae, David Devine, Johnnie Peacock park in a disabled bay, would you confront them?

What if let's say she's not the badge holder, its her disabled mother's badge and this young lady uses it illegally so she can park next to facilities, she doesn't wear a colostomy bag and is perfectly fit and healthy... she just lied when being confronted to get out of being caught using the badge and the disabled parking bay would you still say its ok?? | |||

"The point the OP was making don't challenge the person. Simply take a note of the registration number and report it too your local council. I'm sick and tired when people stop me from using disabled facilities, Little do they know that I actually have 4 different disabilities that effect how I interact with other people." without going to much into it I have already challenged a few people and turns out was right to do so, 1 guy was using his father's blue badge without his father's knowledge, the son was his designated driver but was using it illegally in order to park closer to facilities. | |||

"But the point is that before you approached him you would of had no idea if he had a hidden disability. " I could see the badge holders photo id attached to his sun visor and not on show ( which is also illegal) it was obvious it wasn't the son in the photo, I questioned him, he denied it, I took photographs as proof, informed the police and they took action. I was right in my assumption that the son was using his father's badge for his own pleasure without his father's knowledge.. | |||

"Hidden disability or not…why are badge holders allowed to park free of charge?…." Because they are! You try walking in their shoes for a day and see exactly why it benefits them to have a blue badge. Is this open season on people with disabilities? It saddens me that people have such attitudes. | |||

" The question wasn't about why people have the badge though, it was why is the parking free ( if it is is as I don't know ) | |||

"Hidden disability or not…why are badge holders allowed to park free of charge?…." It is only free in councils st parking or car parks . Private car parks NCP etc have disabled spaces but they pay to park same as everyone else . ( some do give a reduction to attract disable customers who bring usually at least 1 able bodied shopper as well ) In England although not used down there they limit time of free parking upto a max of three hours . There’s a lot more private operators there so less council alternatives .  | |||

Yes I agree that people should not misuse the blue badges but to take it back to the OP comments, Members of the public should not be approaching people to question if they are disabled or not. If like the comments above someone is abusing the system then simply report them to local council and they will be warned about there conduct or might even get the badge revoked. Disabled people already face being marginalised and while your intentions were good, what if he was disabled suffering with poor mental health and your comments caused him to harm himself. Our action have far reaching consequences sometimes. | |||

"Hidden disability or not…why are badge holders allowed to park free of charge?…." Because able bodied people have the option of walking/cycling/getting the bus if they don't want to pay for parking. People with disabilities generally have higher day to day living costs already. The fact that ticket machines are too high to reach from a wheelchair also means councils would have to install extra machines. | |||

"These include but are not limited to * Psychiatric Disabilities—Examples include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc * HIV/AIDS * Diabetes * Chronic Fatigue Syndrome * Attention Deficit-Disrorder or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(ADD/ADHD) * Arthritis * Crohns Disease * IBS * Sjögrens Syndrome * Heart Disease * PoTS * Ehlers Danlos Syndrome * Bowel Disease (including needing a stoma) * Amputees (how can you tell if someone has part of a leg missing?) * Medical conditions associated with hidden disabilities. There will be many more that’s classed as having a hidden disability. And all these people who have one, myself included, are entitled to park in a disabled bay with the use of a Blue Badge. Even if they look relatively healthy. No one is allowed to confront anyone who may have a hidden disability whether they think that person looks to be able bodied. The Blue Badge can now be given out to those at the top of the list. So no you may not see a disability but you do not know what that person is going through. In the case of the young lady from the Colostomy post. Just because she was wearing sports gear, that insinuates that as a person with a Colostomy bag perhaps she shouldn’t have a life? Let alone park in a designated disable bay. If you saw any of these people Derek Rae, David Devine, Johnnie Peacock park in a disabled bay, would you confront them? More importantly could you outrun them? I suspect not! If you don’t know who they are, I suggest you Google them. IF you suspect someone is abusing a blue badge you can report them, you do not need the badge number, just the car’s registration, as when you apply for a badge you are asked for the main car’s registration that the badge is going to be used in. Be Kind and Don’t Judge. " Totally Agee!….I’ve had people corner my sister and ask for her to prove she is an amputee, because she doesn’t look disabled enough?….it’s crazy  | |||

"But the point is that before you approached him you would of had no idea if he had a hidden disability. I could see the badge holders photo id attached to his sun visor and not on show ( which is also illegal) it was obvious it wasn't the son in the photo, I questioned him, he denied it, I took photographs as proof, informed the police and they took action. I was right in my assumption that the son was using his father's badge for his own pleasure without his father's knowledge.." How could you see the badge holders photo if it was attached to the sun visor and not on show? When you display the blue badge the IDing photo is on the reverse and not supposed to be on show, so not illegal. As for your original question on my post - the only C&P’d bit is the list of hidden disabilities, the rest I penned at 5am. However please allow me to add MS, Epilepsy & Asthma to that list. | |||

When you display the blue badge the IDing photo is on the reverse and not supposed to be on show, so not illegal. As for your original question on my post - the only C&P’d bit is the list of hidden disabilities, the rest I penned at 5am. However please allow me to add MS, Epilepsy & Asthma to that list. " he had his sun visor down and it was attached with the badge facing outwards, I could easily see and read it. I don't think he was even bothered that much about displaying it properly as it's meant to be in the cars dashboard, he just chanced his luck and lost. | |||

"Hidden disability or not…why are badge holders allowed to park free of charge?…. Because they are! You try walking in their shoes for a day and see exactly why it benefits them to have a blue badge. The question wasn't about why people have the badge though, it was why is the parking free ( if it is is as I don't know )" If anyone wants to know why badge holder get free parking please ask your council, because there’s nothing on the Govt website to answer it. | |||

" Unless you PERSONALLY know this girl not to have a stoma bag and to be as fit as the next person then you have absolutely no right to accuse her or anyone else of abusing the Blue Badge system. Do you have a Blue Badge yourself? Have you ANY idea the process you have to go through to get one? Just in case you don’t or for anyone else who doesn’t know here it is. There are TWO ways to apply for a badge. Firstly you apply through a form from your local council. The Blue Badge scheme is recognised nationally and throughout Europe. However it’s your local council that gives it out and the criteria may slightly differ from one city to another. So you fill out the form. There are TWO sections to the form. If you are receiving PIP or a child under 16 but over 2, is receiving DLA and (both) have the mobility component, you only have to fill one section of the form, and send in the award letter as proof, a recent passport sized photo, and payment (£20 in Scotland, £10 in England, it’s free in Wales) If you do not receive these benefits, you can fill in the entire form, wait to be assessed by a council doctor, who ask questions about your condition, and see you walk a given length (like down a hallway) he is looking for discrepancies in your gait, and the speed, the place it takes place in will also have CCTV so you will have been filmed coming in and going out, and this is reviewed and matched with how you walk when asked too. When the decision is made, you will either be sent a blue badge and your payment processed, or returned to you, with a letter explaining why you didn’t get the badge. You will have to wait a further 6 months before you can reapply I didn’t post this to cause an argument but for information on possible conditions that cannot be seen by other humans, but it would seem that some people deem themselves to be the defenders of the Blue Badge race - which actually IMO can be deemed as disability racism. If you’re going to report someone you suspect of abusing the system - report it to the correct department of the city council and not the police as it’s not a police matter, all they do is hand it over to the council if they have time. | |||

See, I don’t believe you when you say that the NLC “got back to you” and told you what the outcome was unless you know someone who works there and disclosed this info to you, in which case they were also breaking the law (data protection) and risking their own job. Once you’ve reported something it ceases to be your business. Also, I don’t believe that the BB holder got to keep the badge unless he has some really horrible disease like Emphysema or COPD, or worse, as like you say in a previous post, the holder should keep the badge in their possession at all times, so if they are not going to be in the car, the badge should leave the car when they do when not being used. | |||

" 1st of all, I was part of the case when it went to court as I reported him so I'm entitled to find out what the outcome was. 2ndly the BB holder was the father not the son, the father obviously kept his badge but his son was removed from ever being his designated driver again. 3rd, the badge is allocated to the holder and not a vehicle, I'm one of 3 people who can be my mother's designated driver so if I can't take my mother to appointments one of my other brothers can, my mother just brings out her badge and leaves it on display I whoever cars she in. | |||

If you are receiving PIP or a child under 16 but over 2, is receiving DLA and (both) have the mobility component, you only have to fill one section of the form, and send in the award letter as proof, a recent passport sized photo, and payment (£20 in Scotland, £10 in England, it’s free in Wales) If you do not receive these benefits, you can fill in the entire form, wait to be assessed by a council doctor, who ask questions about your condition, and see you walk a given length (like down a hallway) he is looking for discrepancies in your gait, and the speed, the place it takes place in will also have CCTV so you will have been filmed coming in and going out, and this is reviewed and matched with how you walk when asked too. When the decision is made, you will either be sent a blue badge and your payment processed, or returned to you, with a letter explaining why you didn’t get the badge. You will have to wait a further 6 months before you can reapply I didn’t post this to cause an argument but for information on possible conditions that cannot be seen by other humans, but it would seem that some people deem themselves to be the defenders of the Blue Badge race - which actually IMO can be deemed as disability racism. If you’re going to report someone you suspect of abusing the system - report it to the correct department of the city council and not the police as it’s not a police matter, all they do is hand it over to the council if they have time. " So you've given me the criteria but totally ignored the first line where it states , severe mobility issues or trouble walking. Clearly running around is OK. For those saying they could attack me , if they could catch me it proves the point they shouldn't have parked there in the first place and I was right. For those that can't catch me .... Well there's not really a down side to challenging them is there.

"But the point is that before you approached him you would of had no idea if he had a hidden disability. I could see the badge holders photo id attached to his sun visor and not on show ( which is also illegal) it was obvious it wasn't the son in the photo, I questioned him, he denied it, I took photographs as proof, informed the police and they took action. I was right in my assumption that the son was using his father's badge for his own pleasure without his father's knowledge.. How could you see the badge holders photo if it was attached to the sun visor and not on show? When you display the blue badge the IDing photo is on the reverse and not supposed to be on show, so not illegal.

"These include but are not limited to * Psychiatric Disabilities—Examples include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc * HIV/AIDS * Diabetes * Chronic Fatigue Syndrome * Attention Deficit-Disrorder or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(ADD/ADHD) * Arthritis * Crohns Disease * IBS * Sjögrens Syndrome * Heart Disease * PoTS * Ehlers Danlos Syndrome * Bowel Disease (including needing a stoma) * Amputees (how can you tell if someone has part of a leg missing?) * Medical conditions associated with hidden disabilities. There will be many more that’s classed as having a hidden disability. And all these people who have one, myself included, are entitled to park in a disabled bay with the use of a Blue Badge. Even if they look relatively healthy. No one is allowed to confront anyone who may have a hidden disability whether they think that person looks to be able bodied. The Blue Badge can now be given out to those at the top of the list. So no you may not see a disability but you do not know what that person is going through. In the case of the young lady from the Colostomy post. Just because she was wearing sports gear, that insinuates that as a person with a Colostomy bag perhaps she shouldn’t have a life? Let alone park in a designated disable bay. If you saw any of these people Derek Rae, David Devine, Johnnie Peacock park in a disabled bay, would you confront them? More importantly could you outrun them? I suspect not! If you don’t know who they are, I suggest you Google them. IF you suspect someone is abusing a blue badge you can report them, you do not need the badge number, just the car’s registration, as when you apply for a badge you are asked for the main car’s registration that the badge is going to be used in. Be Kind and Don’t Judge. Does your be kind message also apply to people above who have used one of these conditions above to get the badge in the first place. By all means I'm saying if your require a badge then by all means get one. BUT , just because your ENTITLED to have one doesn't automatically make it right that you should abuse that entitlement. Here's the criteria for using a disabled bay in Glasgow or more so why it's there. . The Blue Badge scheme is for people with severe mobility problems which makes them unable or virtually unable to walk or those who are registered blind. It allows Blue Badge holders to park in restricted areas. For example, if you have a blue badge you can park free and for any length of time at on-street pay and display areas. . . OK FFS READ the very first sentence ..... What part of running around constituted severe mobility problems or virtually unable to walk. How can anyone argue the point that this girl was being kind to others. Whether she had a badge or not she did not NEED to park there. So no I won't be told to be kind to some people and Yes I will judge some people on occasions especially when it's blatantly obvious a misuse a system designed to help the MOST vulnerable. Unless you PERSONALLY know this girl not to have a stoma bag and to be as fit as the next person then you have absolutely no right to accuse her or anyone else of abusing the Blue Badge system. Do you have a Blue Badge yourself? Have you ANY idea the process you have to go through to get one? Just in case you don’t or for anyone else who doesn’t know here it is. There are TWO ways to apply for a badge. Firstly you apply through a form from your local council. The Blue Badge scheme is recognised nationally and throughout Europe.

I'm joking before the snowflakes get all up in arms. "Obviously YOU missed the very first condition in my list, which was introduced a couple of years ago go… here let me…Psychiatric Disabilities - examples include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia & anxiety disorders, PTSD. These are Mental issues but do not impinge on their ability to walk (or run). | |||

Likes of NCP, you do not need to pay even if you are not a bb holder as it is a private company and any Parking Charge Notice (which is what private companies give out), if you do not pay it, they are unlikely to chase you for it as it costs them more to do this than it will cost you to just pay it.

All I was saying is that there are other places that’s acceptable to place it, so long as it can be seen by authorities that need to see it and busybodies like you that’s all that matters! Jeez! Lmao, so what happened to being kind to everyone, that's went right oot the window when you see or READ something that get you a bit irate. Kind of like when we see people running to and from disabled parking bays. But hey it ok you preach to us while you can show your own kindness in your own way too.
Aye well he/she is just being argumentative for the sake of it. And they are still hung up on your stoma girl… why did you no ask to see her baggie? Would that have been too far? How far is too far? Love you to challenge me FFS""Aye well he/she is just being argumentative for the sake of it. And they are still hung up on your stoma girl"... Is this aimed at me? | |||

"But the point is that before you approached him you would of had no idea if he had a hidden disability. I could see the badge holders photo id attached to his sun visor and not on show ( which is also illegal) it was obvious it wasn't the son in the photo, I questioned him, he denied it, I took photographs as proof, informed the police and they took action. I was right in my assumption that the son was using his father's badge for his own pleasure without his father's knowledge.. How could you see the badge holders photo if it was attached to the sun visor and not on show? When you display the blue badge the IDing photo is on the reverse and not supposed to be on show, so not illegal. As for your original question on my post - the only C&P’d bit is the list of hidden disabilities, the rest I penned at 5am. However please allow me to add MS, Epilepsy & Asthma to that list. he had his sun visor down and it was attached with the badge facing outwards, I could easily see and read it. I don't think he was even bothered that much about displaying it properly as it's meant to be in the cars dashboard, he just chanced his luck and lost. Doesn’t have to be on the dashboard, people put it there as it’s the easiest place, but it could be stuck to the window or attached to the sun visor.

Love you to challenge me FFS"Your trying to justify your outburst because someone said something in a forum ? Your be kind message has gone right out the window. It happens all the time in here. People escalate a discussion to anger and its usually the virtue signalling people that do that , like a child stamping their feet. Tartan and myself have had an axe to grind with parking and repeatedly explained why but others won't accept that and get all hot under the collar. Tartan and myself both agreed to disagree, the last thread ran it's course but you decided you wanted to continue that discussion but are now losing the plot because we came back in to a topic you reopened. Priceless. !! | |||

" I get that and its wrong but to go up and check peoples badges is a bit much, on the other post you were cracking up because someone "looked" fit enough to walk round a shop, you said youd be checking their badge, seriously what gives you the right? If you feel someone is using it illegally then call the appropriate authorities I'd also like to know how it's even possible to check, the photo is on the back of the badge so not on display, it's also tiny so you'd need to be pretty close to see it. that's just it squiggle , he wasn't displaying it properly, he had in on his survivor and I could see it from standing at the side of his car, I could see his father's photo and name and knew straight away it wasn't the sons badge. If the sons his designated driver he gas to have his father in the car with him if he's using the badge but the son was on his own. Well that's a unique case and you should've reported him. The point of these threads are about challenging people without clear evidence they are misusing a badge. There are numerous reasons a person may be issued a badge and it's not just for mobility problems. I did report him that's why I know he lied and had used his father's badge for his own use and not what it is intended for. Out of curiosity WHO did you report him too? the police who then told me to report it to North Lanarkshire Council. I was surprised to hear back from the council after the son was fined £250 and was removed from being his father's designated driver, but hey ho, it's the sons own stupid fault for illegally using something that wasnt intended for him to use. I find it difficult to believe that the council would update you on the outcome That's not surprising but it happened." There’s a lot of what I’m reading I find difficult to believe

"I'm not going to argue about the ins and out of specific incidents, especially when I wasn't there and don't have all the facts, but whether the person is in the wrong or not, it's really not your place to confront them. You have absolutely no authority and could put someone in a lot of distress when in actual fact they might have every right to be using the blue badge system. Also let me ask you a question, if you were deceiving people and passing yourself off as something you weren't for your own benefit would you rather be called out in public or reported privately? Have a think about that one. " Everyone has a right to challenge what they believe to be wrong . Anyone that thinks otherwise probably goes through life with blinkers. As for going back to the old I know who you are nonsense, don't bother telling me about it as that would be you challenging what you believe is wrong and make you a hypocrite. Tell the relevant authorities your concerns , you won't be the first or the last. It won't be the first time someone has mistaken me for someone else. | |||

"I’ve only found one car park where you can park for free .. the others you pay the same as everyone else.. just get to park in a bigger bay .. nearer lifts All council car parks are free, all supermarket car parks are free or have a time limit. Likes of NCP, you do not need to pay even if you are not a bb holder as it is a private company and any Parking Charge Notice (which is what private companies give out), if you do not pay it, they are unlikely to chase you for it as it costs them more to do this than it will cost you to just pay it. Done it many times myself as have family members who don’t hold a badge, none of us have ever been charged! " . All supermarkets are free to everyone one .. we always pay unless it is stated on sign .. I’m not special .. just need more room to get out of the car and to get a wheelchair in and out .. | |||

Events have different classifications T-44 or other code is put after event title . ( I hope this is the answer to your interest in how it works ) | |||

For the record this is what's dickish .. it being belittled .. as I previously stated my daughter had a stoma when she was a baby , she got it as a life saving measure as her bowel nearly perforated whilst having a double heart bypass .. if it had perforated it would've killed her instantly and had no option but to have an ileostomy so reducing it to a sarky comment as "Stoma? Shitting into a bag is classed as being disabled and gets you a blue badge? Can someone with a stoma compete in the special Olympics alongside people with no legs?" . If she didn't have the stoma she wouldn't be here today , so aye maybe I am on the defensive when dickishish comments like this get made . Absolute ignorance in my opinion . | |||

"But the point is that before you approached him you would of had no idea if he had a hidden disability. I could see the badge holders photo id attached to his sun visor and not on show ( which is also illegal) it was obvious it wasn't the son in the photo, I questioned him, he denied it, I took photographs as proof, informed the police and they took action. I was right in my assumption that the son was using his father's badge for his own pleasure without his father's knowledge.." Did the police phone back and tell you that | |||

If you report a crime , they are very likely to update you that that person was charged/convicted ect and also what punishment ie fine or time. Ect. More so if you request an update. | |||

"Stoma? Shitting into a bag is classed as being disabled and gets you a blue badge? Can someone with a stoma compete in the special Olympics alongside people with no legs?" Special Olympics is a global organization that changes lives by promoting understanding, acceptance and inclusion among people with and without intellectual disabilities. We unleash the power of the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports, every day around the world. Just a shame that there are some on here who show their intellectual ability by their comments. Paralympics are for those with a physical disability. | |||

We can’t have people abusing blue badges and the privilege that it brings.
I’m quite sure our Police Force have much more serious crimes to investigate such as the abuse a friend of mine gets because they are short due to having brittle bones and yes he also has a blue badge. Some people seem to think it’s ok to shout abuse at him and don’t treat him with any respect.
He’s had over 200 broken bones, spent months in hospital and tries his best to not use a wheelchair as that also comes with condescending remarks.

"These include but are not limited to * Psychiatric Disabilities—Examples include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc * HIV/AIDS * Diabetes * Chronic Fatigue Syndrome * Attention Deficit-Disrorder or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(ADD/ADHD) * Arthritis * Crohns Disease * IBS * Sjögrens Syndrome * Heart Disease * PoTS * Ehlers Danlos Syndrome * Bowel Disease (including needing a stoma) * Amputees (how can you tell if someone has part of a leg missing?) * Medical conditions associated with hidden disabilities. There will be many more that’s classed as having a hidden disability. And all these people who have one, myself included, are entitled to park in a disabled bay with the use of a Blue Badge. Even if they look relatively healthy. No one is allowed to confront anyone who may have a hidden disability whether they think that person looks to be able bodied. The Blue Badge can now be given out to those at the top of the list. So no you may not see a disability but you do not know what that person is going through. In the case of the young lady from the Colostomy post. Just because she was wearing sports gear, that insinuates that as a person with a Colostomy bag perhaps she shouldn’t have a life? Let alone park in a designated disable bay. If you saw any of these people Derek Rae, David Devine, Johnnie Peacock park in a disabled bay, would you confront them? More importantly could you outrun them? I suspect not! If you don’t know who they are, I suggest you Google them. IF you suspect someone is abusing a blue badge you can report them, you do not need the badge number, just the car’s registration, as when you apply for a badge you are asked for the main car’s registration that the badge is going to be used in. Be Kind and Don’t Judge. " I have a temporary blue badge which i cudnt do without it but this is the first time ive ever required this and wudnt dream of asking anybody if they were legit or not | |||

People reporting others for mobile phone rule breaking ect by taking vids and sending them in and being told that the person was charged or fined . Its becoming a hobby for some especially cyclists. Google Gandalf corner for one example. But the police most certainly do give feedback, perhaps not in your case. | |||
