These cars have been a familiar sight in some London boroughs for some time.

I think they should do something about the blue badge holders that park in dangerous places ie yellow lines.

Yellow lines are there because it is not safe to park there so how does having a piece of blue card inside the windscreen sudenly make ie safe?

"The Blue Badge scheme is for people with severe mobility problems. It allows Blue Badge holders to park close to where they need to go."

So why was it the other day that I saw someone park on yellow lines put up his badge at one end of the village then work his way down a row of shops going into a few of them then back to his car but none of the shops were near his car

Our council have shelved their parking enforcement and its now being transferred to neighbouring council,whilst the deal is being sorted out,there is a general "free for all" in & around the town.Result: its utter murder trying to get about as motorists are literally dumping the vehicles wherever they need be.I have reported umpteen incidents of cars parking opposite each other leaving just enough room for a cyclist to pass to the police,as I'm thoroughly sick of knocking on doors asking for the cars to be moved,& getting smart* telling me its not their car when it plainly belongs to an occupant within the house,just not the youngster who opened the door.

Apparently,these mobile enforcement vehicles can park where they like (including on the same set of double yellow lines as the offender)whilst they video the offence,& there have been incidents where drivers have been reported for parking offences when it could be seen the offender was actually waiting for other vehicles to pass.

I wish something like these vehicles were patrolling our streets,as the message would soon hit home that blocking the road while they "nip to a shop" is dam inconsiderate,and could lead to loss of life were emergency vehicles requiring access.
