The driver does not need to be disabled to get a disabled sticker.
The sticker is given to the disabled person themselves to use in whatever vehicle they happen to be travelling in at the time, so he probably has a poor old mother who travels with him and he 'forgot' to remove the sticker when she's not in the van.
I believe that using a disabled sticker without a disabled person in the vehicle is in itself also an offence, but if there are any members of the gardai on here they will correct me.

Yes it is an offence, but the biggest problems with these cards that make them 100% open for abuse by abled folk is that the photograph of the disabled person is on the wrong side of the card.

An abled person is only allowed to use the disabled card for parking if they have the named/photographed person in the car.

The only way of determining the true owner of the card is to inspect it which is impossible when the car is just placed on the dash.

bash the drivers in the disabled spots all yuo want, equating disableld/retarded/obnoxious drivers with being united fans is likely going to cause a lot of petty arguments

Relax.

Probably committing an offence to be transporting disabled or any other person in a commercial if it isnt for commercial purposes.

Got this global email in work today and thought of this thread....

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The text of your message left on my windscreen yesterday. There was no contact number or e-mail address!

“”Fantastic Parking! I had to gain access to my car via passenger seat. Why not get a driving lesson??? You sure need one!”



Couple of points worth explaining here.

1.The car park spaces are designed so that a car parked properly will allow the driver and the passengers to get in and out of the car without any problem.

2.The driver’s side wheels of your car was on the dividing line between the parking spaces, thereby restricting the manoeuvrability of any car trying to park beside you! This was further restricted by a stupid tree on the other side of the parking space (in front of the Kane Building, in the middle of the parking lot).

3. As you obviously parked there before me, you had enough space to park properly and would have been able to use your driver’s door to gain access to your car. Instead you chose to park the way you did!

4. There are certain unwritten rules of the road and they apply to parking spaces as well. One of them is: think about the other driver and be courteous. When one is parking, one should be mindful of the other driver trying park in the space next to one’s own.

Obviously you missed that lesson!



A little bit of consideration goes a long way…even in life!



Have a good day!

Dundrum Main Street was full of them today

bongi69

Outside Spur at Liffey Valley Centre.
Car was there when I went out for a smoke with no one in it, and was still there when I went back in. No disabled permit either.
Please excuse the quality. Used the iPhone with its (crappy) zoom.

I may be wrong, but aren't you also causing an obstruction?!

Lol I know:D

no I stopped because I had to stop (several times as the queue tried to get past)and took advantage of the pause to takethe photo and no there was nothing behind me so i didnt cause an obstruction.

No doubt a picture of me will appear on here sooner or later but I wasn't parked so don't qualify this time round...:D

I do that sometimes, it always grieves me when the other car is still there when I get back.
One day though the other car was gone but he/she left a scratch along the entire length of my car. :mad:
And by the looks of it that Audi driver won't care if his motor gets scratched.

Its for that exact reason that I would never even consider doing something like that. Revenge never seems quite so sweet when it comes with a €300 bill for repairs...

sheehanpaul

it's not my car, and they are fixed (allocated) parking spaces, so the two lads know each other....


More of a "learn how to park you asshat" than any kind of revenge...

Double yellows & a bus stop? Now that takes years of training :rolleyes:

KoolKid

If you manage to get the weels between the yellow lines & the kerp is that OK?:rolleyes:
