Baby parking

[PJ87]

At the end of the day anyone parking in an area designated, lawfully or not, to another section of society is simply being an inconsiderate jerk
But it should come as no surprise.
Consideration for others comes a long way down on most people's lists.
Our local Tesco has put up huge No Parking signs along a section close to the shop to keep it clear so people don't get slaughtered by the racing drivers who think 30 is a satisfactory speed for a packed car par.
Every time I go there I see at least 3 cars parked under these signs but nobody seems to give a damn so it will continue.

Even at work we get people like this

We are not allowed to park in the inner compound of the bunker. It’s designed so if we are on fire a fire engine can drive around the building and put the fire out whilst we remain in the inner core and the railway doesn’t stop

We are allowed to drop off stuff like when we do shopping for meAls to cook or bring in milk for the week but then must move to the car park

One guy loves to park his classic merc there because he doesn’t want anyone dinging it..

Hopefully a fire engine will come and destroy it soon

I could upload my dash cam footage as it would have got the entire thing as it’s alwayd filming ?

That just confirms to me everything if I didn't already know.

Glad to be of assistance (MOD EDIT) 👌

Wonder what folk feel about the over 65 spaces that are available to us oldies in these parts... Think I could foresee some serious meltdowns for the selfish amongst us....

i've just been past our local leisure centre, out the front it has 10 disabled bays, a large area for emergency vehicle access that is cross hatched no parking at any time and a long drop of pick up area which is double yellow lines.

9 of the disabled spaces in use with either 4x4s , BMWs or Audis of which not one has a blue badge on display, the E V section had 2 cars parked across it with no one in them and the whole drop off area was also full with no one in any of the cars .

But what age should the child be before the parents cease to be eligible to use these spots?

Personally I would not be expecting parents to be using preferential spots once the child is 4 or 5 years old.

But bob what about his side of the story? Maybe he was turning around and broke down.. hard to judge 😂

It’s 12 is the Age

That is completely ridiculous.

Absolutely no need beyond the age of 5.

Well no.. 12 is the age they stop requiring child seats (providing their not of a certain height) so it’s to do with getting them out as they have made it easier

Oh wait is that another new thing that is why things have been added to make things easier from the past? Need their spaces to deal with safety features....... (not aimed at you someone else)

At the age of 5 children are quite capable of undoing their own safety restraints and need no help getting out of the car beyond a responsible person attending the door.

Not all children are tho

And more than one child may be in the car

I agree 12 is high id go for 5 , wouldn’t help tho

This morning proved it.. delivery then next to her a gym goer and when I left an elderly man with no kids doing his shopping

All shouldn’t be using the spaces

Had a go at someone once who parked using his wife’s blue badge in a kids space when a disabled space was just 2 bays down. I said you know that this isn’t s disable space he said yes , I said can you see a free disabled space down there? Yes..

Well park there then because a parent can’t park in that space and your denying someone a space who could need it whilst you have the right to park there don’t be selfish.

You really do sound like a fun guy to be around

Lucky your opinion is worth about as much as having a return ticket on the titantic 👌

Bet you're chairman on the local neighbourhood watch scheme as well

I must alert the local village I have found their missing idiot 👌

So my opinion is worth a return ticket on the titanic and now you refer me to the village idiot, pretty classy stuff from what seems to be the worlds biggest busy body.

If you don't like folks replies, probably best not ask the question in the first place rather than resort to personal abuse don't you think.

I park in Tesco parent and child spaces near me, they’re next to the door. They’re convenient to drive into rather than negotiatiating the tight car park.
But if I go Asda or Morrison’s I don’t use them as they are further away.

I don’t feel guilty, it’s not against the law. I’m just lazy! So lazy in fact that I drive to Tesco despite it taking the same amount of time to walk it!

About time they had some Lard Arse spaces, they do need more space to get out the car.
