Breaking news. Looks like good news for,
Tens of thousands of people with hidden disabilities such as autism, dementia and mental health conditions are to get blue badge parking permits from next year.
Ministers are trumpeting what they describe as the biggest overhaul of the scheme in 40 years as they include “invisible” disabilities in eligibility criteria.
Some local authorities already do this, but today’s announcement will make it common practice across the country.
The government claims it could help an extra 44,000 people in the first year and 177,700 people over 10 years.
Transport minister Jesse Norman said: “This will ensure people with hidden disabilities can enjoy the freedoms many of us take for granted.”
But some branded the decision a government U-turn - as the number of blue badge holders plummeted by more than 250,000 since the Tories came to power.
The number of valid blue badges in England has fallen from the 2011 peak of 2.64million to 2.38million last year.

Quote.....I'm physically disabled and my friend drives my car and drops me off at a point I need to be and then finds a disabled space then he might walk to where he has dropped me off to meet me. So is that wrong? No it's not.
Yes it is wrong.
I'm sorry but in the example you stated the driver of your car is not disabled and therefore has no right to use a disabled parking space or even be driving your car with a blue badge displayed when you're not in it. All he is doing is blocking a space, and is one of the many reasons the system is brought into disrepute.
Best wishes.

Who ever does that is a fool. You might as well leave the car where it is on double yellows both do your shopping etc and meet up at the car in three hours time.wilko said:A non disabled driver can drive a car with a blue badge holder to a drop off point even if it is on double yellow lines escort them to their destination leaving the car parked on the lines while displaying the blue badge then drive to a suitable parking space not a disability space then return later and park again on double yellow lines displaying the blue badge and go and escort the disabled person to the car and return home.
