How will these new badges be of any help to the genuine disabled driver?
The present badge is not hand written on a piece of card as reported, it is a printed document, with a photograph of it's holder on it and enclosed in plastic.
What the authorities should be clamping down on is the ease some are able to acquire these badges, the use by others who are not the holder of the badges, and those that illegally park in disabled drivers spaces, etc,
What also amusers me however is the fact that some blue badge holders, park in the supermarket disabled spaces, which are in close proximity to the entrance of the supermarket and then are able to walk around the supermarket for close on a hour doing their shopping.
If they are fit enough to do that then surely they shouldn't hold a disabled blue badge.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I am no longer going to post on this subject, taking into consideration that I am myself a disabled blue badge holder, who cannot walk more than a few yards, yet still I am being personally criticised and in some cases actually threatened with criminal attack, just for asking certain non-abusive questions.
A typical one being;
/// Why don't you post your address so we can all come round and beat you up and give you a few problems to contend with you ignorant pillock! ///
I have reported this abuse to the Ed hoping that he will take the necessary action to get this ABer suspended from this site.

It is a bit late now that postdog is suspended and I am sure he does not need an apologist but maybe just maybe his discomfort and frustration regarding his brain tumour, the recent failed operation and the wait for the next op, tipped him over the edge.

Just seen your post caz... I had a cortisone injection in to my hip on 23rd but had been suffering again about a month or two previously, it got quite bad to the point where it felt more or less like it did before the op. Hopefully it just got irritated when I started going back to the gym and the cortisone will settle it down, otherwise they've already said they'd need re-operate. Fingers fully crossed for the cortisone miracle!
