ASDA Parent & Child parking - fine for misuse

The only time I go to Asda is if i'm taking the parents shopping..and since i'm their child :D Theres no age limit displayed.

Some lass complained about us using the space one time when she was loading her car ( which was also parked in a parent and child bay - she was alone ), she then proceeded to leave the trolley behind blocking the road when she drove off without locating it back in the trolley shed. :confused:

Does anyone here actually park in parent and child spaces when they dont have any children?

Not at peak times but I will if I go late at night (past 10pm or so) as most of the car park is empty and it seems daft to park do far away from the shop when there are 30 empty parent and child spaces right by the door.
 
Disagree with the brat n prat spaces - you can't park properly with kids then don't bring the satanic little harbingers of disease with you - they just run around and scream, making an already thankless task even more unbearable. With my wife not being able to drive (epilepsy) I do have to take her on the odd occasion.

Disabled spaces are a differnt matter.
 
I'm glad i do my shopping online. If i was to see some able bodied person with no kids parking in a parent and child space, just to save them getting there doors bashed by other car doors, and i wasn't able to get parked in one of those spaces with a 2 year old and a 6 month old i wouldn't be best pleased.

Back on topic though.

They can try and fine you but it's a civil matter. You can easily get away with not paying. The ticket is not enforcable.
Pepipoo has a rather good parking ticket section of there board. It helped me out when i got a ticket parking at the Metrocentre in Gateshead.

The kids are fine, it's the pushchairs, buggies and carseats that go with them that do the damage. :)

It's not a case of the parents not being able to park properly, it's the fact that it's sometimes hard to get kids in and out of the car when in normal spaces.

The space to be able to open the doors fully, helps no end.

If you ever have kids you might understand it's quite hard to get a 2 year old in the car and belted up safely when you can only open the door about 2 inches :mad:

Then you are.. well, the rules prevent me elaborating. Unlike you tedious whinging parents, disabled people have absolutely no choice over being disabled.

Leave their spaces alone. You've got your own silly little marketing-spaces for your brats.

There's always an abundance of them so why not

You moan when people bump doors into your car and you then moan they get spaces where they can open the doors, cant win

There was a discussion on this topic on Radio 2 last Friday i believe it was.

The general concensus was it was people abusing the disabled badge with either a stolen badge, a relative or a carer of the actual person who used it to their advantage.

However some people may not have any visible signs of being disabled.

Remember you chose to be a parent, many people have managed it before without all these special provisions made just for them.

But they didnt choose to be disabled and they have to live with their disability.

If you cant get the doors open, park in a space where you can, on the other side of the car park where there is nobody else!

If the parent and child spots were at the furthest point from the doors with a covered walkway/zebra crossings from the doors to the spaces i bet they would be empty, pure and simple laziness.
 
Just a thought, the reason peoples cars get scratched might be because parents with children can't get a P+C space hence have to park in a space with a gap next to them, go shopping, then come back to a car parked in the space within a foot of theirs - despite the 'baby on board' stickers in the window therefore forcing the parent to struggle to get their 'brat' in the car.

Also, ever thought that sometimes parents don't have a choice but to take their child shopping with them, i for one aren't going to leave my 14 month old son at home while i go shopping.

That doesn't matter though, as they say, ignorance is bliss.

Becuase disabled spaces are for disabled people. These are people less fortunate than you or me - they have no choice about their situation, they just have to live with it every day. Give them a break and park your car somewhere else!

Park in your 'parent and baby' spaces or park at the other end of the carpark. Do not park in disabled bays!
 
supermarkets make me really angry, ill park where i want and punch anyone who says otherwise, stupid places with their blind women drivers and their trolly ramming and yelling inside my head argh! Die!

and so on
 
Oh, let's join the your choice to have kids debate eh, it's your choice to buy an expensive car. You were a kid once ;)

I'm really rather lost as to where you got your little 'expensive cars' thing from :confused:

He's saying he parks in disabled bays. I'm saying this out of order, as he's got bratbays for his tedious people carrier to be parked in.
