Disabled woman fined for permit slip-up
"A traffic warden issued a £35 ticket to an 82-year-old sufferer of Parkinson's disease, who was asleep in a car, because her disabled parking badge was upside down.
The car was legally parked in a disabled parking bay when Jean Raine felt unwell and took a rest.
While she was sleeping a parking warden noticed that her disabled parking disc was the wrong way up but rather than wake her to explain he simply stuck the penalty notice on her windscreen".
WTF? No discretion. No compassion. No common sense.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
