This post is titled WHY I LASHED OUT IN PARKING BAY ROW by author SoulJah.
A disabled driver who lost his leg in a horrific motorbike smash today defended his decision to smash a teenage girl's car windscreen.

Graham Ewen said he took the extreme measure after two years of drivers parking in disabled spaces. He confronted 19-year-olds Fiona Tosh and Leanne Benzie for parking their Renault Clio in a disabled space.

But he claims they laughed at him and he decided enough was enough.

The 30-year-old from Balmedie, an Evening Express Champion in 2003, said: "I am not a violent person at all but just about everywhere you go, people are parking in disabled spaces.

"I confronted them and was laughed at. I had just had enough.

"I swung the stick at the car and it struck the window.

"Then I just sat in the car waiting for the police to come."

Fiona gave her side of the story in last night's Evening Express. She admitted she parked in a disabled space without a permit at Asda, Bridge of Don, on Sunday.

Fiona said she was only going to be a few minutes and there were plenty of other disabled spaces.

However, Graham said: "Every day this happens.

"I challenge people and some folk say they are sorry but being laughed at I don't like.

"She has broken a rule and I have broken a rule so we are even.

"Maybe if you broke a window every time they parked there, they wouldn't do it."

Graham picked up a Champion award in October 2003 after fighting on after he lost part of his left leg in a motorbike accident.

Within six months of the accident the electrician was back behind the wheel of his work van.

The accident happened in September 2002 when he was riding home from a friend's house on his 200-kilo Suzuki TLR 1,000. It spun out of control on the Ellon to Methlick road.

He lost his left leg from the knee down, his right ankle was smashed and he fractured his neck and back.

He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where he spent four days in the intensive care unit.

As a result of his injuries Graham has since had to give up his job and is currently trying to get into a computing course.

On Sunday, he and his wife Emma had done their weekly shopping at the superstore.

At around 2.30pm he saw Fiona and Leanne leaving the store and challenged them.

He added: "This kind of thing happens all of the time.

"I can only walk short distances and in the past I have been in a position where I cannot find a parking space because people without blue badges are parking in them.

"It makes the blue badges pointless.

"The younger generation don't have any respect for people with disabilities."

Grampian Police are investigating the incident.
