The stickers are the permanent kind which are a pain to remove but hopefully make the offender rethink parking in a disability park :) Or have stickers made up like we have saying "you block my space, you block my day".

Especially where there is no enforcement... Complain to the property owner, supermarket manager, whoever, that the person illegally parking is committing an act of 'discrimination'. By not allowing for enforcement of mobility spaces, property owners are committing an offence as the Discrimination Act states an offence is committed 'by act or ommission'. Therefore, a supermarket owner/manager is enabling an offence to be committed, therefore a party to the offence by ommission. Petition your local MP to have ALL mobility parks nationally enforced for the use of those who pay for a permit, and enforcement requirements included in the Resource Management Act which requires these spaces be provided.

I had a stand up argument with a truckie last week for parking in a disabled park a week ago. Ended up having to leave before him because I had to go to work.

Mill St? Westfirld Chartwell are good, they have designated security who go check ever Mobility park, you have no card?, you will find your car is going nowhere any time soon. The other thing is I write down the car details and ring the watch tower, that person soon finds themselves paying a fine. Haha Matt I think I know which Pak N Save you mean… Mill St?

Maybe that could be suggested, hang on, what am I saying... !%#!* NZ Wheel Clamping Co Ltd! That said I think the clamping at this Pak`n Save is done by Pak`nSave staff.

If your husband isn't disabled then I don't feel you should be parking there waiting for him. Mind you if the parks were empty you could park further away and drive over if you needed to go into the store. In my opinion Pak n Save stores are all lax about this. Seems though that their head office may be a bit more reasonable about things. I think I recall one of the stores in their franchise was selling some of the ingredients it takes to make the drug "P" a year or so back. Public outrage directed at their head office put an end to it. Never mind the clowns in store, they all seem to be able to learn the "Pak N Save wave" pretty quick but perhaps have little intelligence or compassion with anything else. A generalisation I know but if the shoe fits... I don't shop with them any more because of this and the fact I read somewhere surveys showed they are no longer the cheapest. Take your dollars elsewhere I reckon. We are all consumers after all as they say. Leave their pseudo-disabled token parking to the lazy people who seem to be their preferred customers.

One time I was at the Mt Albert YMCA, when I noticed a man drive into the disabled car park, hop out of his car dressed in his workout clothes, and casually walk into the YMCA. After thinking about it, I went into the building and found the man, who was in the gym working out, and politely asked him to move his car. He complied once I had pointed out that he wasn't particularly disabled. He was a little shitty about it, but credit to him as I followed him out of the building and watched him move his car. Pak'n'Save need to pull their head in. I'm able bodied, but am hard of hearing.
