Car parked in disabled spot. Only disabled bay on site. I politely pull up alongside and down my window. Person does same. I ask if they are disabled, they reply no, I ask if she would please move as I use a wheelchair and really need the spit.

I'm to,d I'm arrogant and she was refusing to move due to my attitude. So I park alongside. She'd parked, if you imagine an inverse T shape, she would be the I part. She had a car parker behind her but room behind. So I parked I. The T of the inverse T. I got my wheelchair out and displayed my disabled badge. Person 2 comes and asks me what the fuck I'm doing and to move my fucking car. Goes into my car and takes my disabled badge saying I wasn't disabled anymore and goes to their car. I start wheeling to the shop, comes up behind me, drags me back towards my car by the back of the seat. It tilts, back at my car, chair still tilted hits me in the back, tries to get in my car again, puts finger in my face saying I give disabled people a bad name.

I go into shop, came out to find badge on back of car wiper thingy and they'd gone. Should I go to the police? Was I bring unreasonable not to move my car to give them move room to exit the disabled spot (mind they exited the spot anyway)?

hi newname
i know this thread was longer...what happened when the police came

I have been wondering too. Hope you are okay, @newnamenew.

Sorry for lack of updates, have been rather unwell.

The police couldn't give a toss basically and didn't even bother coming out. Just a cursory phone call (from someone manning a phone line) explaining it was mine and my daughters word against twat and his missus.

Sigh.

Let's hope your MP will be more involved, the police are out of order when this is clearly a hate crime. Good luck Flowers

Get your local newspaper involved OP - that usually puts a rocket up the police's arse

Very sorry to hear that. Do whatever makes you feel best. Shame your dd didn't get a photo of the thug. Wishing you a lovely day

I sent an update email to my MP over the weekend, so hopefully hear back in the next few days.

This is dreadful OP - at least I got a phone can from the PC who had attended and an incident sheet emailed to me. I also had it recorded as a hate incident. Do you feel up to putting in a complaint? I am sorry - I know my experience was nothing like as bad as yours but that makes it even worse that you've got nowhere

Lynnm63 · 08/03/2017 17:27

Have you written to the chief constable yet? Make as much fuss as you can.

bibbetybobbetybooo · 08/03/2017 20:17

I'm so so angry that this has happened to you. Keep on at the police and your MP. It's just not acceptable that nothing has been done for you x
