If there's one thing that really get me riled - it's people missusing disabled parking spaces
There is one, particular - a brand new glossy black car that parks in a disabled space outside my gym - it is obvious why this is done, he is worried that it might get damaged in a normal space (it is a very wide car).
But. there is a reason why 3 disabled parking spaces are provided and if he does it again - I am going to park my car tight up against his rear bumper to stop him from leaving the car park !

    That's really frustrating @wibbles! 

    Could you ask the gym whether they'd be able to request that the driver moves their car to a different space?

    Yes - I can and will - tomorrow
    but the driver is a young man with an attitude and several young women who go to the gym with him (you know the type) -so I doubt whether he'll be very amenable
    one word TESLA

    That sounds really frustrating @Wibbles. I am assuming you have already brought this up now as tomorrow has passed. How did it go? We are here for you if you would like to talk it through with us  :)

    Unfortunately that's the younger generation of today no respect for themselves or others I have it done to me constantly to the point where I pointed it out to a parking attendant and he told me he just pays the fine  every time I put a ticket on his car

    And I bet that it makes you want to crush the car?
    I want to crush the Tesla

    On a similar theme 
    What is a "Registered carer" as far as free hospital parking is concerned?
    The rules state "free registered carers parking" 
    As a blue badge holder - I get free parking but does my wife/carer for dropping me off at hospital appointments?

    Is there a way to have the car towed?

    I very much doubt it - Although I would love to see the owners face when emerging from the gym to find his pride and joy - gone !

    Through the pocket is the only way these disrespectful people know these days
