It's not illegal.
They have twenty minutes to load or unload in front of a dropped kerb.

My da is disabled. For every disabled person blocking your drive for five minutes there's an able-bodied cunt without a blue badge in a disabled parking space that he genuinely needs.

That right there is a very valid point!

Or worse
and able bodied cunt driving a car with a blue badge. Usually because he sometimes has to transport his gran once in a blue moon.

Aye, that's naughty.
That's not allowed.

Outside a bar in Manchester
I saw a brand new Ferrari parked on double yellows right outside the bar entrance, there was a blue badge in that. Surely a Ferrari is not the most convenient of vehicles for a disabled person to try and get in and out of. It had a parking ticket on it though which pleased me immensely, so I guess the traffic warden didn't believe it either.

For every able bodied cunt with a fake blue badge
there are hundreds of empty disabled parking spaces at my local Sainsbury's, last night the entire carpark was full bar three full rows of empty spakker spaces.

Reminds me of the Viz Top Tip
Supermarkets: why not place all your disabled parking spaces at the end of the car park furthest from the shop to discourage able bodied drivers from parking in them.

I've always thought this.
Surely having a space reserved is enough :P

Entirely this.
I appreciate you want to get out of your drive, but do try to have a bit of heart. It's not the end of the bloody world.

I would have heart
if they had no other choice. But its almost like they are doing it because they know it will piss us off. They could park in front of their own drive but noooo they park in front of ours and then walk down the hill.

Its not illegal to park
but it is illegal to obstruct. I've had that confirmed but my local police peoples.

I'm one of those semi-able bodied cunts with a blue badge.
However, when I am having a good day I don't use it. I use it probably 6-7 times a month but when I do use it, I need it - usually at the mall or grocery store (they're also the days you'll see me bombing round the store in one of those scooter things with a shopping trolley on the front!)
