Scotland 2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

I have personal experience of the sort of negative reactions people who don't have an "obvious" disability.
My late mum suffered from severe Crohns disease, so to the outside world, she looked "normal", but qualified for a blue badge, which she had, but very often would ask me to park in a normal space, so (in her opinion) people with more severe disablilites could use the disabled spaces.
Imagine how infuriating it was when we walked past the disabled spaces occupied by non badge holders! Censored Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Hey I love my blue badge .... means i get free parking and nice big bays to park Rodney in which is a bonus as less chance of inconsiderate door bangers and I am genuinely disabled but to look at me you would think there was nothing wrong with me but hey the stigma that goes with being disabled is just something you have to deal with.

And this is what greeted me after having a coffee at my favourite place , in my opinion totally uncalled for but I have taken note of the nob's registration and will be keeping an eye out for it in the future.
Oh I did leave a note with a few choice words on his windscreen, makes my think I should print some posters up for future incidents and will be using brown packing tape to put them on as the leave a nasty mess on someones windscreen.

I am sure I will get different opinions on this post Razz

What makes it worse is the fact that this was a disabled badge holder to Censored

Funny , was just discussing that option with a friend Thumbs Up
Not that I have any need for a tow bar but would be a preventative to inconsiderate parking like this Whistle

I was about to give out to a guy in a new Porsche 997 who parked in a disabled bay tonight, luckily I didn't say anything as he assembled his wheelchair & slid out into it!
