you havn't been clear about your question, however, if the carpark was manned by a parking warden the woman should have been dealt with by them, you have committed an offence I am sure by moving her car, you may well have caused damage to it, or could be implicated in the event of any damage being declared. If the car park is covered by CCTV the woman may have made a complaint against you and the number of your vehicle may have been given to the police. Two wrongs never make a right and any situation like this can leave a person open to all sorts of criticism and potential legal action. I would never presume I had the right over a car parking space, life is just not worth the hassle, I would move on and wait patiently, in the time it took u to commandeer the passer by, who must have been incredibly gullible to offer to participate, another space should have come up, disabled or not.
sorry but how the hell did 2 people manage to move a car? Did you just pick it up??? I agree with your sentiments, being a disabled driver myself, but i don't believe you are telling the truth that you just managed to roll her car out of the way, and if you did, i kind of hope she does find cctv and track you down! Because 2 wrongs don't make a right, as my mother would say!
thankyou kay,i thought disabled spaces WERE for the disabled but i must be wrong then as dotty thinks we should have just found a space even if it wasnt in the disabled place were my brother should have been able to park in the first place,ok something my come of this but to be truthfull i dont care i feel my brother had the right to park there and not this woman,who didnt need it,im still fuming over this.
tradey if all the disabled spaces were taken up by disabled badge holders when u arrived, you would have had to park elsewhere anyway, and if the woman had already gone into the shopu would not have bothered checking if she had displayed a valid badge, maybe there are other issues beyond this that made you behave irrationally, it seems an extreme thing to do, for one thing, noone could ever move my car when parked as it is an automatic, has a steering lock and would also have a kruk-lock on the steering wheel,
hi tradey, i have many customers who require a disabled space...unfortunately edinburgh ****** council decided upon themselves to remove all but one!! we were informed if the customer held a disabled badge they could just park at the front of the shop...however last week a warden gave one of my customers a ticket for doing just that!! i think it should be the case that for disabled people they should be able to park wherever, if i was you i would have done the same thing!!! what a cow!!!
btw i dont think dotty was disputing the fact that disabled spaces are for the use of disabled people ... just that if you were in say, sainsburys car park, a traffic warden has no juristriction over the use of the spaces, whereas if you were on a public road they do and can give tickets for this offence
