https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa...t_data/file/197719/can-i-get-a-blue-badge.pdfWhat is the criteria for having a blue badge? I've jst seen a bloke who owns a newish VW Golf walk up the hilly road outside here. I thought they were awarded for those who can't walk far. Please correct me(but only politely please) if i'm wrong)
That's no good,i could've looked that up myself. No,i want someone to spell it out to me in a sentence, or two at the most.
Don't be such a lazy f....That's no good,i could've looked that up myself. No,i want someone to spell it out to me in a sentence, or two at the most.
So the fellow who's just walked up the hilly road will have mobility issues?
It could be his wife,though i haven't seen her driving it.
Or travels as a passenger (they could be blind for example)
I'm only going off what i saw. He walked at a fair pace and his mouth was closed,meaning he wasn't struggling for breath. Maybe he does have other mobility issues that aren't visible to the eye.
This is what i meant. So a disabled bay outside a private residence for example is most likely to be designated for the owner of that residence,whereas a disabled bay outside some shops will be there for anyone who has a blue badge to use?
Bad only in a peripheral vision sense. I was looking directly at him,not from the a side view.
Well that takes me back to my point about them not being much use if you can't safeguard the one outside your house. Ok,it'll stop non blue badge holders parking there,but on the other hand it'll attract other blue badge holders to park there,wouldn't you agree?
See post #45
Then a blue badge scheme outside a private residence is only about 80% affective,i'd say. Given that 20% of cars are "disabled" cars,you have a 1 in 5 chance of coming home to find someone else's car in the disabled bay outside your house. I suppose it's better than nothing, but it just seems daft that they'd put a disabled bay outside your home if you have a blue badge,but anyone else who has a blue badge can park there as well.
