UK motorists have been hit with a stern warning over the use of disabled parking spaces - with thousands predicted to be at risk of substantial fines of up to £1,000.
Blue Badges allow the disabled and those with health conditions to park closer to their destinations, with the scheme also giving the option to park in special bays and on yellow lines.
But the Express reports that some motorists have been caught taking advantage of the scheme, despite not having the right to do so.
