Tesco isn't considered private during opening times as gives access to public to use.

Or that what told in police college.

For the purposes of parking, it's private land.

Make sure it's abandoned on double yellows, at maximum inconvenience and annoyance to all other road users. :thumleft:

I got asked similar when i parked in parent/child space. Told the twaat security guard since it was 8pm Friday evening, my son was probably in Liverpool town centre getting pi$$ed, and that there was nothing on sign saying child had to be with me. :mrgreen:

It may not be law but it's social etiquette. You rebels :clap: :D

I think an mr2 would look more out of place in a child/parent spot than a disabled one especially if it had a booster seat.

I should man up, I never park in one without the kids even if I've got the seats fitted and it's late.

It's pretty insensitive though right? How lazy are you guys that you need to be in the closest spaces?? TBF id sooner park further away 100 times even if someone only needed the close space one of those times.

But that's because I'm such an excellent exemplary human being.

It's my pet hate.I lost count the amount of times I've struggled getting my kids out coz some lazy git has parked in the wider spaces.

If I haven't got the kids I don't park there. Simples.

I agree it's social ettiquette.

Then again it's social ettiquette to kick their Mirrors off when they drive past with a smug look on their face. Funny enough the smug look doesn't last long.
