I strongly disagree with using it, and the thread was kind of set up in effect to not be too biased towards either opinion, you can view who voted for what though.
I disagree with it probably because of my mothers disability, which has played a massive role in my childhood.
I'm not going to judge people who think it's OK to use a provision set aside for less fortunate people, as I pity them. Well, perhaps not them, but their upbringing, which must've been pretty poor, as I learned from a very young age to respect those less fortunate than me. I would actually feel ashamed if I had made life harder for someone who was disabled, be it parking in a disabled space or using a disabled toilet when there are perfectly good amenities set aside for my use.
Sadly this remorse is not felt by all in my generation, a clear reflection on this thread.
With regards to parent and child spaces, it f*cks me off royally the inconsiderate arseholes who park there without needing access for a pushchair / buggy or childseat. 9/10 times it's pure laziness - the spaces are usually closer to the store. The other times it's by people who think their car is so precious that parking there will result in a lower chance of getting car-park dings.
Bad news.
I would deliberately target one of these arseholes cars if I saw one. I wouldn't deliberately set out to damage it, I'm not a criminal, but making life difficult for them just as they have for those who needed the parent spaces will suffice for me. Be it folding all the wingmirrors in, folding all the wipers out or otherwise. Scum!
My car cost me £1,500. Few 306s are worth more than £2k nowadays. It's not a Ferrari. If you're scared it might get scratched or dented then I've some earth-shattering news for you - driving isn't for you. Grow up. It's a car, a piece of metal. I take pride in my car, but it's no f*cking ornamental piece - it serves a purpose.
