ARE you shameless?

Or wouldn't you dream of rolling your car into a parking space reserved for the disabled or parents with babies or toddlers?

Alongside dog muck and phone masts, the continuing abuse of car parking spaces is a subject guaranteed to send blood pressures soaring.

Now Asda has joined the fight to give selfish drivers a very sharp shock with £60 fines administered by private contractors who doubtless will be keen to make the arrangement work.

As someone who has never parked in a disabled bay in his life, I can justifiably say that there is no excuse for fit and healthy drivers to use them.

Call them lazy, call them selfish and shame them all you like, but these idiots will continue to stick two fingers up to the rest of the world even if alarms were activated, large, illuminated arrows automatically pointed at their cars and a pride of man-eating lions was released every time they drove into a disabled space.

Worse still are the reprobates who use disabled relatives' orange badges in their cars and happily skip the 20 yards to the entrance of the supermarket with a self-satisfied grin on their faces.

Sometimes even more contentious are the parent-with-toddler spaces which, while a splendid idea for those of us who have struggled with youngsters over the years, are the subject of even greater friction.

I have seen women almost coming to blows in supermarket car parks, arguing over a young child deemed too old by one to qualify the other to park in the space.

Whatever Asda or any supermarket does is a step in the right direction, as the only way to stop these morons is to hit them where it hurts... in the pocket.

Either that or clamp the car.

Then conveniently lose the key.
