Hopeless parents who are incapable of navigating a supermarket car park with children are badgering the government to bring in legislation concerning parent and child spaces.<\/p>\n
The Give Me Space campaign was launched after a parent found parking a car and trying to get non disabled children into a shop too difficult.<\/p>\n
Personally, we would prefer better pedestrianised access to supermarkets and public places to avoid incapable drivers when trying to actually walk to places with youngsters.<\/p>\n
According to a study, 90 per cent of parents – clearly all car drivers – have been ‘forced’ to put theirs and their children’s safety at risk due to a lack of parent and child spaces.<\/p>\n
Clueless Lisa Roberts who launched the Give Me Space campaign\u00a0deigns to allow disabled drivers their protected spaces, not thinking for one minute about the disabled pedestrians who are forced to avoid the awful driving of incapable parents huffing around looking for a space.<\/p>\n
She says:\u00a0 \u201cIn the UK there are 1.2 million public parking spaces, of which a percentage are rightly allocated to disabled drivers (37,000). This allocation is based on a recommendation set out by the Department for Transport, based on the Equality Act 2010 \u2013 (approximately 4 per cent). The recommendation stipulates the location and dimensions of the spaces to best benefit their users.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently, there is no official recommendation set out by government for parent and child spaces, forcing millions of parents to put their children, including unborn children, at risk. This is what the Give Me Space campaign hopes to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clearly she doesn’t realise that disabled parking constitutes a reasonable adjustment and not a life style choice.<\/p>\n
As a non driving parent, also having a disabled child, that uses public transport and has to navigate crap driving in supermarket car parks past idiot drivers in the baby and toddler bays I have zero sympathy.<\/p>\n
Come on parents, are you really this useless?<\/p>\n
