To report someone for blue badge misuse?
The lovely driver who had a go at me for crossing the road behind her car earlier in the week (she decided to reverse without checking her mirrors) had a blue badge
She is parked in the same street again with the badge again
She may well have the badge legally but showed no sign of disability
Do I report her or not?

No, I wouldn't report someone out of spite. And especially not with no evidence at all that she is doing anything wrong.
You don't have to be a wheelchair user to have a blue badge. And you don't have to be the driver. So my suggestion is find another outlet for your anger (I'd be furious if someone tried to reverse into me, too, but I wouldn't confuse the issue with blue badges).

My friends husband had a blue badge, he was a strapping 6 footer with a permanent tan and was not overweight.
He had cancer and lost lots of weight on a good day he jumped out of the car, on a bad day he could barely move. Oh and the tan..... radiation.
Walk a mile in someone elses shoes before you act as judge and jury.

have you seen her using it to park in a disabled spot?
If not, you haven't seen her committing any crime. She may not use it for parking except when her one-legged father is in the car.
If she is parking in a disabled spot, and apparently hale and hearty, and you know for a fact she has no disabled relatives, then report her if you want, as you say, if she is entitled, she will not suffer.
Have to say it seems as if you want to get back at her for having a go at you....
