Disabled Motoring UK’s Baywatch Campaign

Disabled Motoring UK’s Baywatch Campaign is about researching the level of disabled parking abuse in supermarkets. The campaign asks disabled motorists to survey their local supermarket car park to find out how many disabled bays are provided, how many cars are parked in them without a Blue Badge and asks if anything is done about misuse of disabled parking bays.

Since 1983, the Mobility Roadshow has continued to give millions of people in the UK the invaluable opportunity to assess what mobility products and services are available to help achieve greater independence. Whether they are drivers or non-drivers, passengers, adults or children, every visitor has been able to compare and contrast the largest range of mobility products and services, all in one location and in a friendly, safe atmosphere.

The national Mobility Roadshow provides a more diverse range of features than any other regional show.

It offers, quite simply, an unforgettable event, totally focused on consumer mobility needs.
