My disability isn’t too obvious immediately after getting out of the car but once I have my walking stick in hand it is.
Had the usual “you’re too young to be disabled” from the coffin dodgers but not so much now my hair is going grey, but I’ve always politely told them to go & die.
It can happen because of the vehicle too, I parked up in one of works vans in an on street disabled bay, hobbled off after displaying my blue badge & time disc, & returned to find a parking ticket stuck to the windscreen. Being a large van, reaching the parking ticket wasn’t easy & I tried to swat it off with my walking stick. Traffic warden returned, took the ticket off & passed it to me & revealed he had clearly made a mistake & I was to challenge the parking ticket, which I did & won the appeal without any problems as I guess the traffic warden had already told them he’d issued it in error. The reason for the traffic warden’s error was making the assumption that a blue badge on a large works van over 100 miles from where the blue badge was registered to a woman must be stolen or being used by someone else. Good thing is that traffic wardens do check who badges are issued to.
Also had french police in Paris come to chat to see if I was parking legally near the Louvre in a disabled bay, when they saw the wheelchair everything was fine. And in Bilbao told off two policemen who tried to tell me whilst I was unloading the powerchair that my Blue Badge wasn’t valid in Spain, to which I told them to get lost and they accepted that as a “don’t bother picking on a mad englishwoman, you’ll lose”.
