| | Handicap parking is generally inadequate because, In the United Kingdom, non-handicap drivers routinely abuse car-parking spaces specifically allocated to handicap motorists, dispite new legal requirements. This generates frustration, anger, resentment and leads to real problems for disabled drivers and parking providers alike. |

| | From October 2004, Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 comes into effect within the United Kingdom. This legislation places legal requirements on service providers to ensure that handicap people do not find it unreasonably difficult or impossible to enjoy the service in the same way as non-handicap people. |

| | Whilst the earlier parts of the Act focussed primarily on handicap access into buildings, Part III now looks closer at the issue of car parking. Key requirements of Part III is that service providers that operate a car park now have to 'monitor' their disabled parking bays to prevent abuse by non-disabled drivers. Failure to provide monitoring could result in a heavy financial penalty, as disabled drivers exercise their rights to compensation under the terms of the Act. |

| | However, in the battle to combat disabled parking bay abuse K-Five Sales Ltd are able to provide Handipark. Already proven in a variety of applications, Handipark is a mini parking barrier that is installed directly onto the road surface to reserve a blue bay for use by a disabled driver. To access the space the driver simply presses the button on a hand-held remote control device, which automatically lowers the barrier. Handipark will then remain down until the car has left the space, when the barrier will rise back to the vertical position, smoothly and automatically. |

|
| | With Handipark you can now effectively guarantee the availability of your disabled parking bays, free from the risk of abuse; at the same time Handipark could also help protect your organisation from the risk of costly litigation under the terms laid out in the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. |
