  1. Trouble is some hire companies will let anyone hire them which is wrong. It should be for the disabled I think that they should have to show there blue badge when hiring them. I’ve seen young people on them just for the fun of it. I know there are genuine young disabled but most times they are capable of walking.

  2. not every one has a blue badge you can only get one if you own a car,and yes you do get some idiots racing round on them, its not fair on the genuin who cant walk to far.
