<H1>The Price is wrong for parking in disabled space

League star Steve Price has apologised for parking in a disabled space at an Auckland supermarket last weekend.
The Australian hardman, invalided out of his final year with the Warriors this year with a heel injury, was snapped by a member of the public leaving his 1967 Ford Mustang saloon in a mobility space at a Mt Eden car park last Sunday morning.
Price left the car for a few minutes while he dashed into the Baker's Delight store when several other parking spaces nearby were empty.
The 36-year-old said it had been a "complete mistake".
Speaking from Australia, where he is doing charity work with Aboriginal children, Price said: "I didn't realise that I was parked in a disabled parking space. I park in that space quite a lot and I was in a bit of a rush so thank you for highlighting that."
But the player's action left one disability advocate seething. CCS Disability Action's Peter Wilson said: "Whether he was there two minutes or 20 is irrelevant. There's just no excuse at all. It's disappointing that someone of his ilk should do that."

Drivers who park illegally in a disabled space on roads are liable for a $150 fine, while in private parking spaces it is up to the owners to tow vehicles.
