Percentage of Blue Badge Holders In Wheelchairs?
Rather low.

Percentage with restricted mobility, or more likely a left at home relative with restricted mobility, lots.

(Sorry to sound cynical, but I'm a Motability dealer and supply cars to 'em)

Anyhoo, the supermarkets always put lots of disabled spaces in because they're terrified of the publicity should a genuine raspberry get stuck. The sprog-spaces evolved (a) to look good and (b) to stop doors getting dinged and the owners brawling in the car park. Unfortunately they're usually in token amounts as they take up more room. Plus it is physically extremely difficult to get a baby carrier or squirming toddler out without denting the next vehicle, so for some people they are very much a necessity if they don't want to cause damage or drop their child on to the cold hard hurty concrete. I don't need them as I am all manly.


PS. I might not have been serious
