Don't you think of yourself as special..shame :(
The problem is that parking like that will attract more attention. Parking out of the way or at the end of a row is the best way of avoiding parking damage. Parking over two spaces will just net you tickets, abuse and vandalism.

It's the same attitude on public transport with people requiring seats for their baggage. It's not an issue on an empty train but given the choice between standing and moving someone's bags onto the floor, I'll choose to take a seat.

There's a fella who always parks his evoque in the blue badge area of Tesco Durham ( no badge of course) - now that's a real special stunt in my book!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I regularly see "Cupid Stunts" like that down here as well. :headbang:

Shame supermarkets don't seem to police their car parks! I do my Mother's shopping at a Sainsburys store in North Cheam, and there has been a Zafira with 2 flat tyres in there for months (but to be fair not in a Blue Badge space)!

A now departed this world pal who was a T3, when he saw genuine abuse he would park his car behind them - lug himself into his wheelchair and disappear for a while!
To be fair he always offered to swap places when he returned!

Sorry to hear he isn't still able to do this ronk. :(

Hopefully some people learnt something from that (but sadly I doubt it).

Yes, I'm afraid very few saw the "funny" side!
The chap was quite often threatened with violence but took it in his own way " come on fella - knock a man out of his wheelchair"

I have special needs...the need to not to have to pay again to have door dings pushed out again.
And still have one dent to be pushed out to remind me daily.
