Disabled Lamborghini driver?

pimpdriver · Disabled Lamborghini driver?

Went to Cribbs Causeway shopping centre in Bristol today.

Was out in the Caravelle in the car park feeding the kids and changing nappies.

Spotted a white Lamborghini, 2008 reg drive past. Thought "mmmm nice car".

Went to the bogs in the shopping centre. Spotted the Lambo, parked in a disabled parking bay.

Well, the driver could have got the car on the "motability" scheme, but probably not.

He definitely did not have a blue badge on the dashboard.

The car park was nearly full with not many disabled spaces left.

So, I did the honourable thing and reported the driver who parked there to the Information / Parking desk in the shopping centre.

My Father in Law could get a blue badge, but doesn't because of his pride. So it really gets my goat when these people think they can park wherever they like.

When I initially went to the first shop to enquire where I should report the driver, she said the main information point. I showed her the photo, and she said "cock".

So, I went to the Information point, told the woman there, who said "The CCTV will pick it up". I then showed her the photo, and she took the registration number.

As I was walking away, I heard over the tannoy "Would the owner of the White Lamborghini registration LJ08FBF please return to their car".

Well, by the time I got back to the Caravelle, and put the kids in the car, and had driven to the exit, guess who was reversing in front of me?

Yes, "Lambo Boy".

He then drove a few spaces, and pulled into ANOTHER disabled parking space.

By now, I was REALLY annoyed.

So (much to the disgust of my wife), I stopped along side (because he couldn't actually park straight, even in a WIDE disabled bay, he was angled in the parking bay), wound down the passenger window and beeped the horn.

Me: "excuse me, do you know that's a disabled space?"

Him: "yes, why?"

Me: "well you don't have a blue badge" (as he could have legitimately been picking up his disabled grandmother, as he wasn't disabled himself)

Him: (in a broad Bristolian accent) "are you winding me up?"

Me: "well you're not disabled, that's a disabled parking space. Unless you're mentally disabled and can't actually read?"

Him: "you what? are you winding me up???"

At that point I realised there was a queue of cars behind me, so I wound the window up and drove off.

Made me laugh anyway. And hopefully made him realise how much people think he is a complete idiot for parking in disabled parking spaces.

no doubt about it .its a very nice car.and also a very expensive car.and low i would like to see drive through derry hill.

he proberly didnt want it to get hit by doors and such like.
intresting little thing when it comes to car parks.providing the car park is not council owned say for example supermarket car parks you can park anywhere you like as it stands the notices are guides only.
so the bull dog of a parking attendtend what was down sainsburys by right can not do you.however she can do you in the council owned carparks.

I get cross when able body people park in the disabled bays anywhere.

my father is in a wheelchair, so i have to get the chair out and put it along side the car so he can get into it (funny enough thats why they make disabled bays wider)
I have been know to block people in if they are parked in one without a badge

they can wait til i have finished my shopping!!

One thing i dont agree with is the parent parking. They didnt have them when i had my 3 under 5yrs, i had to have control over them, it wasnt just a case of letting them out of the car to run where ever they wanted, they had to go either in the buggie or hold my hand!
