I THINK there is a lot of abuse of the Orange Badge scheme for the cars of the disabled.
When I take my wife, who is disabled, out in our car, I see a lot of motorists park in spaces for the disabled.
Then, they just jump out of their vehicles and go on their way, walking a lot better than I can and with nothing wrong with their sight.
I don't know how these people get their orange badges. It is time there was a check on them.
I know of some with badges living near us and there is nothing wrong with them.
I am disgusted at the way the orange badge is given to such people and it should be stopped.
