ASDA Parent & Child parking - fine for misuse

Fining people who cannot obey simple instructions is fine with me. Don't like it, don't park where you aren't supposed to or don't use the shop. It's not rocket science.
 
the title of this thread is with regards to P+C spaces is it not?

And what's tedious about his people carrier, because it's not your choice of car it makes it tedious?

Couldn't agree more. If you don't like parking next to idiot people that don't look out for anyone else but themselves, park further away from the store and use your damn legs, lazy morons.

This is a good theory which often gets let down in practice when you emerge from the store to find your empty corner of the carpark bizarrely populated by a bunch of cars all around yours :(
 
At the end of the day the following applies to disabled bays, From DVLA.

I see many non-disabled people parking in off-street bays, such as supermarket car parks, who should I complain to?
The blue badge bays provided in supermarket and other off-street car parks are not covered by the regulations governing the scheme, which only apply to on-street bays. These bays are in most cases not legally enforceable and their use depends to a large extent on the courtesy and consideration of other drivers. If you see bays being abused by non-disabled people, we suggest you bring this to the attention of the appropriate store or car park operator

So go ahead let peoples tyres down etc etc... your the one breaking the law.
If it busy and theres a free bay al park in it.

Unfortunately that's the risk you take in a public car park. Now if we each had a shotgun each and could take out everyone moron that scratches our cars... :)

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

Thats ridiculous. You deserve to get clamped for parking in a disabled space. Youve got the excuse of using parent and child spaces, so use them.

But as they don't charge for parking they aren't allowed to have a say who uses the spaces they reserve.....

Some do charge as our local one does ,you can get a rebate at the check out ,so if they can't fine you how do they inforce it ?
I would take the op with a pinch of salt until I see some hard support !

I used to work as a trolley boy at ASDA and I can confirm there's absolutely NOTHING Asda can do to enfore a fine upon you. (I'm in Scotland so I don't know about clamping... maybe if they displayed signs, and were properly registered for clamping they could do that?).

Anyway... you can park as you please in supermarket carparks as this is private land (as mentioned) and therefore councils/fines/etc have no involvement and therefore the fine cannot be enforced.

Well, except by a court in a civil action of course ;)
 
Short of clamping you and charging a release fee (which they can't do in Scotland anyway) I see how way of enforcing this. Its no more annoying than the takeaway menu that you often aquire under your wiper.
Still, parking in a disabled space when its busy makes you a tool. I sometimes use them at silly hours of the morning when there is about 40 free and 3 people in asda, but I don't think thats the matter being debated.
Parent and child spaces are a slightly different story.....
 
Also by clamping someone you leave them in the space for longer while they sort out and argue with the clamping people/staff thus denying someone else who made need the space the use of it.....
 
You can simply purchase access to the DVLA's database, provided your car park provider is accredited.

Unlikely to get anywhere - I assume you are familiar with the method private parking companies use - they issue an invoice for the supply of services on the 'understanding' that parking in the carpark is deemed acceptance of their terms and conditions and agreement to be invoiced for these services.

It is worth knowing that as yet there are no recorded cases of private parking companies taking somebody to court for a matter such as this.
