Using my parent's wheelchair sign (they've no car - depend on family) stopped to collect cleaning on loading area as no parking of any type available. Walked 10 metres, paid for cleaning, was approx 3 mins. Traffic warden was just finished writing summons. Must have been waiting in shadows watching me leave car. I was definitely parked illegally in a loading area but with a wheelchair sticker? Was this justified?
As above - no. You were illegally parked and the permit did not have any bearing on the situation.I was definitely parked illegally in a loading area but with a wheelchair sticker? Was this justified?
Is there a requirement for a disabled person to be actually using the vehicle (even as a passenger) for the disabled parking permit to be valid, or does it apply regardless?
The disabled permit is for the PERSON not the VEHICLE. The permit carries the photograph of the person. Therefore a disabled driver or passenger has the benefit of the the permit in whatever vehicle they are currently travelling.
But what if god forbid the wheelchair passenger fell ill, was taken away via ambulance and the driver was merely returning to collect the car ?
sign said:Or if the driver was merely returning to drive the car closer to the wheelchair bound passenger who might be around the corner ? A traffic warden has no way of knowing the exact circumstances.
Just curious - Who do you report it to?This is one of my pet hates - drivers mis-using a disabled sticker. I always report misuse of this concession.
