In the UK we don't fine selfish people who park in handicapped parking spaces.
I think its about time we did.

Everytime I've actually SEEN anybody parking in a handicap stall (or coming back to the parked car there), they've been regular looking able-bodied people. They did have the handicap tags on their car though. I suppose it could be for their handicapped family member or something. No flames please. I'm sure there really are handicapped people using these stalls.

well. my mom's got a handicapped parking tag......she has COPD[chronic occlusive pulmonary disease ] and needs oxygen most of the time....she's got a small tank in her car but if her stop is a short one she can go off the o2 for a bit and hoof it...the proximity of the handicapped parking is a definite help for her...even tho she looks "normal" when outside the car....[ well, almost normal.. ]

Some people think speed laws are stupid, others feel there are more handicap parking stalls than there are handicapped people. The Americans with Disibilities Act, which proscribes how many handicap stalls a parking lot shall have, is the same law that requires instructions in braille on drive-up ATM machines. Form your own opinions from there...

maybe the viper person really is handicapped, you never know? Just because you have a viper, doesn't mean you are not handicapped.

If I had a car that expensive, I certainly wouldn't risk it getting towed...
