I used to have this, but I canceled this just only just over two months ago,
as Im rarely racing abroad this year. But thanks for this amazing suggestion…
Like mentioned before, in The Netherlands this would've been a big deal
to claim on someone elses insurance. Just a different system. No need to
be rude about it…

Isn't it covered by your home insurance? In the UK something like a watch taken abroad is (assuming it's on the policy).

The misses and I went to the local retail park to pick some stuff up for our one year old twin girls. All parent and child parking spaces were full, so in order to have enough space, and enough SAFE space to get out the double buggy and the kids, we stuck the car in a disabled parking space. 10 mins later - in and out of Boots Chemist - and we've been slapped with a parking ticket. Anyone know if I'm likely to be able to blag the charge to be removed on safety grounds or am I gonna have to settle up? Cheers!

It really isn't ok to take a disabled place. Did you not consider someone less able might not have been able to get to Boots to pick up an important prescription because of your selfish attitude. It's not even as if there was only one of you with two kids.
Just suck it up and learn your lesson mate.

If the car park isn't run by a local authority such as the council the ticket won't be enforceable and all they can do is send threatening letters. who was the ticket issued by? and yeah it is a bit out of order parking in a disabled bay.

Normally I'd never park in a disabled space, but the safety of my kids comes first. Got kids Pops? Then you'd understand. And as this is a busy retail park there was no other safe space to get the buggy out, and them out , without going into the main road somewhat.if there was only the one space free i wouldn't have gone in, but there were easily 30+ disabled spaces free.
It's a private third party company Jogon. I know it's more of an invoice to pay rather than a fine but I though the law changed to help these firms get their cash. Last thing I wanna do it get the bailiffs round due to me ignoring it.

Carlos get over to money supermarket as there is lots of info on private parking 'fines'. Technically it is a breach of contract and therefore is not a fine. There has been some recent developments so best to read up.
I got a 'fine' for parking in a poorly signed 'staff only' area at Frankie and Benny. I used the template letter with a bit of tweaking and my appeal was upheld on a technicality. Turned out that the parking company didn't have the landowners permission to issue tickets!
Not condoning parking in a disabled spot though you cunt

Just leave the wife and kids in the car and nip out and pick up the prescription.

So you're telling me that if there was no safe place to get your kids out of the car, other than a disabled bay that had adequate safe space to each side of the vehicle, you'd risk putting up a pram and putting your kids in it, next to a busy thoroughfare of constant traffic?
