and explained she’d had to carry her handicapped son from the end of the road
My wife took a group of wheel chair users to town one day in the adapted school minibus. It’s got big signs on the back saying don’t park within 1.5 metres due to ramp access required.
They were parked in a marked disabled bay which has posts at one end and they’d parked front near the posts to give room for the ramp.
Came back and someone had had parked a non disabled badge displaying Mercedes literally touching the bumper of the ‘bus. Not even enough room to shuffle it out of the bay and get the kids in.
There was a for sale sign in the car with a mobile number on it so my wife called and asked if the owner would mind moving her car. An irate woman turned up 5 minutes later and met my wife on the road side of the minibus. There was a fair amount of shouty anger for being dragged out of her ‘important meeting’ followed by some swearing at my wife.
As they walked round to the kerb side of the bus she caught sight of the 4 kids in wheelchairs and their carers all waiting for her and went a bit quiet.
