        @BBCNews the fact is parking is too expensive and more to the point at certain times there are no spaces. There are always disabled spaces

        @MaggiKaye @BBCNews that is not my experience. What is in short supply is mother and child places and they are abused significantly more

        @SammieD0dger @BBCNews Perhaps but most are able bodied! Disabled badge holders do use them when nowhere else. Anyway they are not as vital

        @BBCNews good. People don't realise how essential the extra space to get disabled person out of the car is.

        @BBCNews should make all fraudsters spend 48hrs in a wheelchair/blindfold/noise blocker & make them see how important these spaces are.

        @BBCNews I see this daily in Exeter from my office window on Mitre Lane. It makes me furious & traffic wardens cannot do anything about it!

        @BBCNews Copies of Blue Disabled Badges are available for sale on the black market & probably in wide circulation.
