Had this Saturday, raining so car park with floor above always full first in big shopping centre. Lots of child and blue badge spaces, lucky if you get one. Had mum who is blue badge holder and granbaby in car. Drive down a row see a space and a young women is standing in space, on the line. I wonder, really are you standing there to save it, is this a thing now ? Anyhoo carried on driving in and she stepped aside. No aggression from me or her, but how bloody odd are people ? Or was I wrong ? Child space btw and once out of car sorting pushchair etc, noticed the car she had seemed to have got back into, as a passenger riding round.

Don’t understand this post, or what the issue was

Well if she was saving it she wouldn't have moved, she was probably just having a thought or something. Secondly why did you drive at a pedestrian? They frown on that sort of thing you know.

This is a thing. I’ve seen many a Tik Tok of drivers arguing with pedestrians stood in spaces and refusing to move because they’re saving it for someone. Obviously it’s not ok to drive at that but they are twats for doing it.

I’ve seen drivers arguing with people like this on SM but luckily she stepped aside when you pulled in so you avoided the drama.
