I too was amazed at the number of cars parked on double yellow lines in East Street, Weymouth ("Illegal parking will cause more rows", Echo, May 3).

When talking to a couple who had just parked, I was told they were blue badge holders and perfectly entitled to park there.

Does a disabled badge really entitle the holder to park on double yellow lines anywhere they fancy?

If so, what if they decide to park on King Street or Commercial Road. Imagine the chaos that would cause.

Surely these people have a responsibility to park with care and respect for other road-users and not impede the flow of traffic.
