to love this disabled parking idea?

[Kladdkaka]

Because of this issues with non-blue badge holders parking in disabled spaces some Swedish municipalities are now replacing the usual disabled parking signs with ones that include the words 'LAZINESS IS NOT A DISABILITY'. I love it :o

yanbu op love it. but notice that the mummies now want one.
why do people have kids then treat it like a disability?

Kladdkaka yes there was, I still have dd's registered disabled card.and she is 17

I have a radar key, I bought it for when shopping with fil ( he is disabled and gets dla) I purchased it online for about £5

The Asda down the road from where I used to live had these hump thingies in the disabled spaces. When they sensed a car over them they gave you loud stern lecture about who the spaces were for and to really consider whether you should park there. Everyone in the vicinity would turn to look at who this wicked selfish parker was. They made me feel guilty and I have a badge. Sadly they only last a few weeks before they all mysteriously died.

a lot of abled bodied people buy them so they can use disabled toilest as they have a pram

I had a feeling there was 2shoes but thought I might have dreamt it.

There most definitely is still such a thing as registered disabled, I have the card to prove it! It does depend where you live though, Hampshire told me it didn't exist anymore, Surrey happily signed me up straight away when I moved there. I have been told that all councils have to keep a register and if you really push for it they will send you the forms but a lot try to fob you off. Maybe the fewer people they have on the register the fewer facilities they have to provide?

Clearly you were right Klad (specially as 2shoes says you are ).

My experience with disability started when ds was about 1 (now 4) and I've only lived in the UK for 13 years.

pseudo really? What kind of a register is it? I've lived in two counties with ds and have a blue badge and everything, but never heard of being registered.

Where do I get a radar key from?
(I am disabled, just no idea where to get a key)

i pulled in to the mother & baby space with my 9 yr old only to get a lecture from a lady carrying a baby moaning about older children & parents aren't allowed to use them.
I put ds's blue badge on the dashboard, went to the boot to get his wheelchair out & said if the disabled bays werent full of non disabled people (or parking spaces all alot wider) then she could keep her precious "baby" spaces, until then pi**off.

Kladdkaka no idea what the point of it was, but she got a little card...I have never had to use it for anything

DS has a registered disabled card. I had to get one of those to get him a bus pass. To get the registered disabled card I had to register him with social services. Not a problem, but it is another hoop to jump through. The card does come in handy though.

I've often wondered if people abuse the Radar key system - I think they should be more strictly controlled TBH.

It's called Surrey Adult Linked Disability Registers, can't remember how to do a link but it will come up if you google it. I'm not entirely sure what purpose it serves, I get a newsletter every once in a while from them. I only did it to have some evidence of my disability in case I need it, if I got contested sitting in the allocated seats on the bus or something, never actually used it since I drive everywhere at the moment.

I've seen Stupidity Is Not Disability.

I like the French disabled bay notices which say ?Take my parking space, but take my disability with it?.

I've not come across the registered disabled thing at all either, I always thought it was something people said when they meant they were on DLA/had a blue badge.

Never knew there was a register.

The register if for the LA really.
No advantage to the person.

I'd rather see a campaign to point out that 'disability' is not always a visible condition and certainly doesn't always mean 'wheelchair user'.

boredandrestless I agree, I have seen so much boasting on mn, people seem to think it is fine to get a radar key when they have no disability, just a large pram or children.
I think they should tighten up on it and fine people for misuse. might mean disabed toilets will be left for disabled people.

It's not always what it looks though. I use it when I'm on public transport with ds (disabled, 4 years old). He will be in the buggy but because he cannot stand on his feet I need a radar key to do a wee. Only alternative is leaving buggy outside and putting him on the floor of public loo

madmouse I obviously don't mean people like you. I wouldn't leave dd in her wheelchair unattended if I needed the toilet, so would use hers for the same reason.

Thanks McHappy
Will buy.
Even the lack of queuing can make all the difference to me these days.
