The only benefit of my wifes disability is that she is entitled to Blue Badge. Whilst I only use it when shes onboard it is a real help. The extra space afforded by the wide spaces and the cross hatching between spaces is a real comfort. Even then, some seem to have problems navigating the space between with a trolley.
I will not take my S8 into the local town and park in normal spaces unless absolutely necessary. I have even cycled rather than do that

From what I have seen of parking space standards is that they are based on a "standard" car of 4.75 x 1.8m. Hence 90deg bays are 4.8x 2.5m with a min width of 2.4m and parallel bays should be 6x2.4m but can be as small as 5m in length.
