Blue Badge Cases
« on: »
There seems to have been a flurry of blue badge cases recently, maybe this is normal I don't know. I took a look at a few out of curiosity as years back I used to frequently use blue badges.

However, I am not, and never was disabled myself, and it struck me that a lot of these case perhaps unnecessarily identify the driver, as it looks like this is assumed quite often.

My use of blue badges was only ever because of passengers, one being my grandmother before she passed, the other my wife's mother, before she passed too, hence not having used a blue badge in recent years.

So alongside the recommendations about keeping driver and keeper identity separate and unidentified, shouldn't the same be maintained when it comes to blue badge cases. Whether or not the blue badge holder was driver or passenger should be irrelevant in a many of these cases surely?

Until it can be confirmed that a PCN has been issued and it fully complies with all the requirements of PoFA, then the driver should never be identified.

That's sort of my point. The blue badge threads, seem to either come right and say "disabled driver", or there are questions early on to identify whether the driver is the BB holder, or a passenger else is. 

It should be irrelevant in most cases, and these detail should be left out, unless it becomes important later on.
