Watched an able-bodied male park in a handicapped persons bay

He walked off to the restaurant strip.
I waited 20 minutes thinking he might be dropping something off or picking something/someone up.
After this time, I walk to the car see there is no “Permit to park” in this bay.
Went back to the bench and wrote a short note;

This bay is for handicapped people. Why do you think you are entitled to park here?
I have forwarded a photo of your car to the shire.
Got to stop you pretentious wankers somehow.

@Bretrick I agree with you. Disabled parking bays exist to protect the rights and dignity of people who genuinely need them.
Ignoring that isn’t a minor mistak, it’s a choice that shifts inconvenience onto those least able to bear it.
Calling it out may feel uncomfortable, but silence enables entitlement. Respecting shared rules is part of respecting each other.

You see this happening in London, but apparently the disabled persons carer can do it. Wait a while longer and he may return pushing a wheelchair. Then again, he may not.

To park in one of these bays, a valid permit must be displayed. There was no permit displayed, if he was picking up a handicapped person he would have had a permit.

Yes, I see what you mean.

I am sure the fine is high here as well. Trouble is there are not enough inspectors around to catch the perpetrators.

Too many people around to do that. :grinning:
No doubt someone would ring the police because of “Suspicious behaviour”
