    Nah, just move it to the other side of the entrance so you can watch the look on their face when they come out and it's gone.

    Pretty ignorant, it's not like it's hard to find a space to park a bike, and up against the wall of the building would probably be safer than where it is anyway.

    That bike owner's problem is that s/he doesn't realise those parks are for the PHYSICALLY disabled

    Last time I was in a wheelchair I used to ring the local Police station and pot them. The local cops were very good and if there was anyone on the area they'd pop along and remonstrate with the driver, or if not, they'd take the vehicle details and send them a nice letter...

    I've heard of people having A4 stickers made up and they'd slap them on the windscreen in the driver's vision witha suitable message on it.

    I get rather annoyed when I see perfectly abled people parking in disabled spots.

    There's one rather influential looking lady that does it quite frequently outside the local supermarket...selfish bitch I hope one day they do clamp her car.

    Must be disabled in the brain and can't read????

    I watched someone uncannily similar pass wind out of an offending cars tyre, then retire to the pub to watch 2 ladies come out of the picture theatre & drive away on a very flat tyre!

    Not OK.


    Just the same as a car driver abusing a disabled parking spot.

    I have pads of those handouts .. and the message is not subtle at all ... its a kind of swap you my disability for your carpark .. then you can have mine!

    I have a disability (multiple sclerosis) and I use a card have done so for the past 13 years. I pay a fee every five years to renew and evidence that my disability has not gone away (if only).

    I don't use a park when on my bike - figuring that personally if I am well enough at that time to ride I am ok to walk (in my case this is true).

    I don't look like I am ill or disabled - very hard to do when its mainly fatique ... and that is always at the end of the day when walking distances is the difference in me being able to drive home or not.

    Grub took the keys out of a delivery truck and handed them to the supermarket owner on a couple of occasions when people decided they had more right to the park than those who furnish a card. I have been known to park behind a vehicle until I am finished when that has happened.

    But at bunnings they always have someone near the door that you can tell, and they deal with those abusers well.

    .
    Definitely not OK with me. I used to pick fights with young guys in cars that did this at the supermarkets.
    Do these people realize that people who are already unfortunate enough to suffer a disability, actually have to PAY to get one of the little slips that entitles them to use the disabled parks?
    arrogant fuckin cunt. Im with the guy that said a $5 padlock would sort the fucker out, give that man a DB!

    In the past when I have been unable to park in a bike park due to a car being parked in it, the car driver usually comes back later to find that their car if resting on its rims, the air having mysteriously disappeared out of all four tyres!

    Key it. Just like you would do to a car.
