Choices 1 and 2
After doing a bit of research ive found out they dont have any right to park in loading bays,unless its stated they can,also can be fined £1000 for misuse of blue badge and can also have it taken of them .

If its safe to double park if cars are parked in a loading bay,i tend to pull up by the side of them and block them in,so if i get a ticket i make sure the cars do aswell  :y
