Hi David, Once again, who said this, Surrey or Kent? Thanks, Clive -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David W Wood Sent: 04 March 2015 11:25 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Blue badge Hi Clive Having incurred a penalty, I inquired as to why reminders weren't sent out. The answer was that some had been upset as the holder of the card has popped their clogs. To this I pointed out that, in such instances, the card should be surrendered lest it add to the plethora of those which are used inappropriately.

If either is the case, I'd be glad to know for the day job. What are your thoughts on the idea of blind people getting automatic reminders in lieu of dates on cards which are invisible to us?

Having applied from scratch for a Kent-issued Blue Badge, I was forwarded a reminder from my previous address from the Surrey issuing authority. Certainly, this hadn't happened previously, and inadvertently it had expired, giving rise to a parking penalty!

It can be argued that at the very least, blind people should get a reminder in their chosen format when blue badges, bus passes and disabled person's rail cards are coming up to their sell-by date, on the grounds that our cards are more likely to lapse because we don't have the luxury of independently reading the printed date on the cards themselves. You might be able to check the date with a little help from your friends or your technology, but neither of these checks are as straightforward as glancing at the card and thinking: "Gosh! June 2015! Better do something about that!"

I think we should be sent reminders warning us that passport is soon to expire.

My passport for example, I asked to have it Brailled and it merely says Passport. How imaginative. I now have my passport number writen on it in Braille which I did myself.
