the looks I sometime clock when parking Doris in the "brat and pushchair wielding hazard" spaces are hysterical. Someone/thing once pointed out "dats fur muvvers and chilldrun" to which to this day I cannot think of a more suitable response other than "oh"

Some of the responses on this thread just amaze me.
I see the stereotype of the inconsiderate sports car driver lives on!

Where do you draw the line? Is it ok to park in a Parent/Child parking spot if the car park is vistually empty (therefore guaranteeing that if someone ligitimately needed the spot, one would be free)? Or is it never acceptable to park there?
Personally, I think it's a marketing gimmick so supermarkets with their long checkout Q's and narrow aisles can claim to be "parent friendly". Wont park there if it's busy, simply because some twat would no doubt "punish" my car.

I too used to think that parking next to an expensive car would be a safer bet than next to a shed. The Trafford Centre however changed my view, a few years back we parked our new cooper s next to a tasteful new range rover sport. After a few hours of retail hell we grabbed a sandwich to eat on the car on the way back down the M6/5. Got in car, only to see a chap walking over to the RR, we are sat in the car and he opens his driver door and slams into the passenger door of our immaculate mini. Not impressed, I got out, walked around the car and looked down to door to inspect the damage. The chap, reversing out of his space, winds the window down and fires some expletives my way about what am i looking at...."the dent you just left in my door" clearly provoked a responce that i was not expecting, his door starts to open and i fear it could get ugly. I get back in the mini and scarper.
Nice car often equals lowlife scum bag with little or no respect for others who obtained his small fortune not how average Joe would approve.
Shame really.
I park the new S as far from anyhting else I can, sadly however it is only a matter of time and is only a car. It wont be be new for ever and will sadly be rippled with dings like all the others. Fibre glass helps, the elise was dent free! jsut stone chipped to hell.

A bit sad that not only do you do something you know is wrong but you also get some pleasure from winding others up who follow the rules.
neither do I

Perhaps whats needed is some even bigger parking spaces along side the parent and child ones marked up "decent car and ego" 
and first come, first served
