Going to start with I am mostly house bound so rarely leave the house.
Today I actually went out and used my blue badge, got back ten minutes later (parking warden must of been hiding!) to a parking ticket saying my blue badge wasnt displayed properly.
I appealed it but Ive just looked at my blue badge and its 6 months out of date 😳

even though ive appealed should I just pay the fine of £35 and hope they dont take it further?
can i do that even though Ive appealed?
i know the fines can go up to a grand which i cant afford to pay!
Ive just appiled for a new one.

Making an active decision to drive over the speed limit and endanger others is absolutely not the same thing as being disabled through no fault of your own and slipping up in doing admin to slightly redress that challenges that you face that most people are lucky enough never to have to give a second's thought to.

My point is what if it wasn’t an active decision, what if the speeder was distracted and went over the speed limit? You couldn’t just claim it’s an oversight. They may of been distracted but it certainly doesn’t excuse it. Op might not of realised but unfortunately if we want a blue badge then we have to keep on top of it
