I agree you shouldnt park in disabled bays, unless intitled to....and even being a taxi driver i dont!
But what gets my goat is most supermarkets have taxi bays and its the same thing.....ordinary car drivers carnt be botherd to walk and park in the taxi pick up points! I once blocked in an ordinary car in to pick my passenger and the other driver blew his horn coz he couldnt get out...i went over and told him your in the taxi pick up area so you'll have to wait....he wasnt happy....but i'll do that every time if i see an ordinary car in the taxi pick up points....
Other thing that annoys me......and i apologise to disabled drivers on here if they are not guillty of doing this......my local hospital has 6 taxi bays next to the disabled bays.....and 9/10 times when im at the hospital i cannot get into a taxi bay because the disabled bay is full and disabled drivers have parked in the taxi bays......what gives them the right to do that......sorry but i think thats just sticking the blue badge in the window and i can park anywhere! Ok fair enuf the disabled parking is full.....therefore if your a blue badge car owner......park it on double yellows....in a safe and non blocking position.....your allowed 2hrs iirc...not in taxi bay! Rant over too 
I remember, a few decades ago, I had to pick someone up at York railway station.
As I had never been there before, I was unfamiliar to the layout. As I drove in I noticed a gap between cars facing a wall. Great, I thought, and duly drove into it. Then I noticed a small sign, bonnet high, that said Taxis Only.
Oh s**t I thought, as I put it into reverse to back out, this bloke appeared and hammered furiously on my window. 'Can't you f*****g read' he says, 'This bay is for Taxis Only'. I pointed out to him that I could read and was about to find another parking place. 'A likely f*****g story' he said, and continued to rant, rave and swear at me.
Anyway, I ignored him, and drove round several times until I found a place.
This taxi driver, and I presume, his mates, were sat on a bench visibly laughing at me trying to find another place.
Anyway, I picked up my friend, and we started to drive off.
As we passed this bench full of taxi drivers, I wound down the window and said, 'You're doing a grand job'.
At this point the taxi driver flew off the bench and tried to grab me through the window, I let out the clutch, and he got his arm wedged between me and the seat belt.
I continued to drive slowly, with him running along side of me, trying to free his arm.
I then braked sharply, he went A over T, and I drove off with a smirk on my face.
