Think before you judge us
I WOULD just like to congratulate Nicola Turner on her letter regarding young people using disabled parking spaces. She expressed my sentiments exactly.
Although I am 'slightly' older than her, I have experienced the same problem when parking in disabled spaces – I have a chronic illness which affects my mobility, do not use a wheelchair or stick and also like to make most of my appearance and do not look ill, but when I have parked in disabled bays I have had many altercations with "senescent people" who seem to think they are the only ones who are entitled to park there and jump to conclusions that I have either "borrowed a pass" or are parking illegally because I cannot be bothered walking too far!
So come on, all you disabled parking 'police', think before you make comments and give those disapproving looks not ALL people who need to use these spaces are the older generation who use sticks/wheelchairs.
