Hi

Not sure they have a legal leg to stand on with what is claimed with the comments with people of 17. However they are legally free to make up the rules as they wish.

All the best

To the letter of the law they may well be correct, but purely on a PR side why would you do that?

Hi

Good question, but some time ago there was a large argument on here about parent and brat parking.

All the best

I personally think a pregnant woman is more in need of a closer space than a mum with a buggy(as per there sign)

Does not a pregnant woman constitute a mother with child ?

I believe there have been precedence set where a pregnant woman has been murdered and the perpetrator has been charged for both deaths.

By that count the child is recognized as being a person and as such should be considered as one where parking is considered.
The child exists as a person and there for this woman is considered a mother. How she carries the child should not be at issue.

If she were to wear one of those back pack thingies Smile to carry her child is she any less worthy of using the parking bays.

Also I don't believe having a child is a life choice.
It is for the majority the natural order of things.

On a personal note I wish her good luck and hope she gets some sort of satisfaction out of them .

If it was my wife I would be down there cracking skulls Middle Finger

Well its £90 , which is a fair bit of cash , call the papers say a 5 minute job, get your picture taken say 15 minutes.

And probably due to bad PR get your £90 back.

As said if more of us did this the law would probably be on ourside (then changed).

I think they could have turned a blind eye to it. I see both sides of the story, yes she did break the rules technically not having a child in a buggy. I see plenty of poeple parking in disabled spots with no badges that dont need them and on top of motorcycle bays that are bikes that get away with it. Her i would have maybe just had a word with and left it.

If you were already overdue, would any sensible person be anywhere near supermarket?

My local Tescos will supply free baby products for a year and give you a helping hand package if your waters break and you go into labour in their shop Thumbs Up

It was in our local paper just a couple of weeks ago because it happened. Thumbs Up


That fine is wrong on so many levels. I have two young children, 5 and 6 and when my youngest was still in the missus (good god that sounds so wrong Laughing ) she was waddling about and parked in the toddler bays even when I had the other one.
If tescos own the car park themselves then they dont enforce the parking like on a private car park.

I should imagine the car park company will get a handy word in their ear from tescos about this. Tescos dont need bad publicity as there are many other supermarkets out there willing to step in their shoes.

Personally I don't see it as a question of closeness, more a question of space. That is the wider you can open the doors the easier it is to get a child in and out of the car. There oughta be some concession for being pregnant as it's a difficult manoeuvre when you're as far gone as she was.

Good point there. But I still stand with my original statement. Thumbs Up

Err, yes. Being overdue can last for two weeks until inducement, so not going anywhere 'just in case' is not always possible.

Also, for those who are saying that mother and child spaces shouldn't be available, try carrying a baby across the entire carpark to put it in the trolley. My son is 18 months and I find him heavy, let alone my ex, but he is not able to traipse round a supermarket.

Also, try getting a door open far enough in a standard space to get a child out of a car.

Cheers

Grim

Don't cars have boots or hatchbacks?

i nearly had a punch up for parking in a disabled bay even though i was helping my other half into a wheelchair during a weekend visit home from the hospital as theres not enough space in between the cars in ordinary parking bays at tescos, while it was bloody obvious the wheelchair was needed, i was told it didnt count if i didnt have a badge, i didnt get a ticket though as i assumed the person making me angry knew he was going to get hurt Mad
