Hi Messi. You really are up against a brick wall. You must feel the whole world is against you, I am sorry that I cant send you some magic to sort it all out for you. Best of luck Mike.

Please don't shoot me down in flames but have you done any work on the car recently that could have dislodged a wire or similar? Mike.

Nothing controversial about that. I wish everyone thought the way you do. I have been disabled since the age of 9 and as I have got older the disability has got worse. Why should we put polite notices on their cars that are abusing the space which has been designated for me and others like me. If anyone wants my disabled parking place you can have my disabilities, they would soon change your mind. If I was given a pound for every time I've heard but I was only a couple of minutes I'd be a millionaire many times over. The Blue Badge scheme and Disabled Parking Bays are heavily abused and I can assure you that steam comes out of me when I see those that need a walking stick to get to the bank but are able to run back because its started too rain I could go on but I am annoying myself just sitting here typing it in.Thanks for your thoughts Hugh. Mike.

Coming back home and finding your disabled bay has been used by an other which is without a disabled Blue Badge is a real pain and I mean "Pain" Having to park further away means you have to walk further and use a non disabled bay, that can have complications of its own, trying to get in and out of the car because you don't have the space to open your door far enough to get in and out, so you park it further away, even more walking you find a space when there is no car parked next to you only to come out in the morning to find now there is a car parked next to you and you have no chance of being able to get into your car, what to do? You can cancel going out maybe to a hospital/doctors appointment no chance of getting to that then, have to cancel that and hope you can get another appointment, back indoors until that car has gone which means even more walking. In the States all Disabled bays on public or private land come under the jurisdiction of Police/ Wardens and the fixed fine out there for ABUSING a disabled bay can be as over $2000 and that is the norm. So all that walking backwards and forwards, extra pain because of all the backwards and forwards, having to cancel your hospital/doctors appointment, the bad mood you are in now and all because someone hasn't got the good grace not to abuse a parking facility specifically for a disabled person. A polite note???????????? Mike.

Hi and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull the to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over. I am sure someone will be along fairly quickly with an answer for you. Regards Mike.

I am disabled and also come across what your wife has experienced on a daily basis. I have a private parking space which is allocated and fully marked for disabled only, but I am sure you are well aware no law covers these spaces on private land and anyone can use them with or without a blue badge, doesn't help your mood but sadly today so many people couldn't give a damn what they do or who they upset. Good luck with the war and keep on fighting. Mike.

Have a chat with them, they will know better than us. Mike.

If you have legal cover on your policy talk to them and find out what they think about it. Mike.

Well the best thing to do is wait untill the renewell comes in and see what the position is then. Mike.

I would think you would also need to add 20% VAT. Mike.

So it hasn't actually gone up yet? Mike.

You dont say how much it has gone up by. How long ago was the crunch and have you had your car repaired? Mike.

Premiums go up each year. I always have a good look round to see if I can get a better price. How much was the old premium and what are they asking for this time. Did you get your excess back on the accident? if not they wont treat the incident as a non fault accident. Mike.

Great good news story. Well done you and to Lexus in Leicester. Mike.

If my car is showing 70mph the TomTom Satnav shows 64/65 mph. When Satnav shows you doing 70mph car speedo shows 75/76mph. Mike.

There are quite alot of threads in the archives which cover just about everything on refurb wheels. Mike.

They may have not heard the warnings as not everyone listens to the radio/TV. Mike.

Same colour as mine. I would have stood there and cried. Is it one of our members? Mike.
