Use of Radar Toilet Keys - My personal opinion

disabled key

I would like to add too that some councils ours for example Brighton & Hove have keys to lock disabled toilets so a radar key cannot open it this is common practice round here after dark.
Defeats the object I think

Too much political correctness in our nanny state if you ask me.I will stop using the radar key when i see the disabled parking their cars in the correct place,instead of parking wherever they feel like and in dangerous places like i see all the time,accidents waiting to happen.I will stop using my radar key when the blue badge is scrapped and badges are reissued to the genuine disabled like my father in law who is in a wheel chair and paralised from the solar plexis down.
The doctors are handing these badges out like confetti and are at fault for this abuse.Seems like if you are over 60 you qualify for one.When this happens i will hand over my key.This is my opinion ,i also have a canal network key which i also use for the services and guess what i dont have a canal boat.

More important things to worry about in life.

Both my parents have mobility problem, our local authority will not give them a blue badge (funnily enough its not doctors that give out blue badges, don't think they've taken over highways as well as the NHS provisioning )

So if its free its yours .... interesting attitude .... so rather than behaving responsibly you blame others for the fact that you don't (if they do I will!) rather than showing a good example ... interesting but very flawed argument

I was in Blackpool the other week and went to the public toilets near the tower and there was a alchy sat on the floor aking people to give him the 20p you would have used to use the public toilets and he would open the disabled toilet for you to use. I politely declined his offer.

Disabled toilets are usually locked on a night to stop smack heads shooting up in them.

Chronic illness also qualifies for a radar key. Life can be fun. :fun:

Is that a serious answer?

Some people break the law, therefore I feel that I am entitled to break the law (but not necessarily the same law)

Could I respectfully suggest that anyone who (for whatever reason and despite the arguments against) decides to use the Radar facilities without proper entitlement, keeps the matter to themselves?

Do not share the idea, recommend it, or encourage their use to anyone else, especially on a wildcamping site such as this, where we try to project a responsible and respectful image to the world at large.

 

[scampa]

BTW, The more advanced wildcampers shouldn't need to use Radar keys....

A more appropriate facility, especially for emptying cassettes, is the night deposit safes that can be found outside many banks. This also gives the opportunity to show the bankers (and ex-bankers, of course) just what we think of them!!

Better then fly ****ting I say :mad1:

My answer to the problem of locked Public toilets was to buy a folding shovel.

I find it perfect for gemmying open the locked doors. :lol-049:

One of my mates has type1 diabetes he has a radar key because he gets about 5 mins warning when he has to go but not classed disabled, but he reckoned he'd never used it because they're never where he needs them, probably go with the not using them to empty cassettes but they're taxpayer funded as they remove public loos should open these up to the public

This just helps to prove the point that many councils are staffed by idiots. Lets lock the disabled toilets at night because the druggies use them at night. Are druggies nocturnal? Just another example of "don't punish the offender, just everybody" By the way my wife is diabetic, has osteoarthritis, and irritable bowel sndrome. We got a letter from her doctor and the local council gave her a radar key. ThereARE some sensible council staff members despite my opening sentence

Where can I get a key for the nightsoil sorry mean night deposit safe?

Just giving my opinion and if you dont like it tough i dont bother throwing my toys out of the pram on forums anymore i say my piece and then piece off ha ha
So in your own words. How can a council issue a disabled badge then without any medical proof ,if the council are issuing badges without a doctor being involved somewhere then the failings of the blue badge scheme are self explained.

Actually i lied i wouldnt give my key back as i enjoy behaving irresponsibly:sleep-040:

I think admin is guilty of a bit of trolling of his own site ha ha
I for one have always kept the fact that i have a key to myself until now lol.
Perhaps i am breaking the law well. im sure i can live with it:lol-061:
I would also add that the place is clean and tidy when i have come out and i have only used these toilets after about 9 o clock.


Perhaps admin could do something useful and take his radar key and lock this thread for the good of wildcampers and the image of motorhomers before it ends up in the usual kind of slagging match,and that is the last i shall say in this thread...:cheers:

My key is legal with proof if needed but to jo public I look able bodied this causes problems all the time, you don't need a stick or wheelchair to be disabled !

 

[Seannachie]

This is my personal opinion of the use of Radar Keys by unauthorised persons.

A Radar Key is designed for disabled people to allow them access to the toilets.

If you are not disabled, then facilities that you use are not put there for you and you do not have rights to use them or the services held within them.

Opening a locked door to enter a premises that you do not have a right to enter is trespassing. Using the toilet roll is criminal damage and using the water and electricity is theft of services.

I disagree! Using the toilet paper IS NOT criminal damage; it is actually theft!

Entering premises with intent to steal is burglary, and following that logic, carrying an unauthorised Radar key is going equipped to steal! But I jest.....

We were both jesting, John, nevertheless both jests were correct. However, the the authorities seem to do little about real anti-social behaviour and important crimes so the chances that anyone will receive a criminal prosecution for using or carrying a radar key are even more unlikely than me winning tonight's £80 million Euro jackpot!
