PARKING MAD
Asda shopper who turned camera on those parking in disabled spots gets a trolley load of abuse
A FED-UP shopper who turned his camera on people "misusing disabled bays" at his local supermarket - was soon targeted with abuse.
Michael Lanera started filming "dodgy parkers" after spotting a family without a blue badge driving into one of the reserved bays at an Asda store in Huddersfield.

He lay in wait for the family to return from the store and then challenged them over their parking.
He asked the male driver: "Are you disabled?
The man replied: "And you are?"
Michael explained what he was doing and a woman walking by backed him up by saying "he's right..you shouldn't park there."
An expletive-laden argument then erupted as both sides refused to back down.
A short while later, another man left the store and headed to his vehicle which was also parked in a disabled spot.

He claimed to have "left his blue badge at home."
Mr Lanera, who said he was "sick and fed up” of car drivers abusing the parking spaces, uploaded the encounter to YouTube and Facebook, .
Footage shows Mr Lanera telling the two drivers they should not park in the bays and accuses them of abusing the disabled spaces.
He said: “Do you think it is fair to park in a disabled bay when you are not disabled?”
He also says that if they are blue badge holders entitled to use disabled bays at the Bradford Road store, they should display the badge in their windscreens.

One man claimed a security guard at the supermarket said it was okay for shoppers with children to use the disabled bays if the family spaces were all taken.
Other shoppers soon got involved in the row before a supermarket manager arrived on the scene.
When challenged by Mr Lanera, the manager said the car park is not Asda’s car park and is policed by a private company.
Asda was asked to comment but has not yet responded.
