Disable parking bays and blue badges.

I’m a blue badge holder. Limited mobility and can only walk short distances.
If someone was parked in a disabled bay, without displaying a blue badge, would you ask them to move their car?

Regularly at school drop off and pick up there are cars parked in the 2 disabled bays, with no badges. Often parents in the car waiting for pick up.

There is other parking along the street, it gets pretty busy, and a supermarket less than 5 minutes walk away with a massive, free, car park
.
I am a bit fed up of people parking in disabled bays making them inaccessible for blue badge holders.

YABU - don’t ask them to move their car.
YANBU- yes ask them to move the car. Cheeky f@@kers

I’ve started asking the driver of these parked cars if they have a blue badge.
every single one has very sheepishly said no. Some immediately move their car through sheer embarrassment.
others make very poor excuses, but they know they’re in the wrong and can’t drive off quick enough.

no fights yet!
they have all been men though. Interesting!
