Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Would have been terrible if he got a flat tire while it was setting there.

Considered private property and unless the store files a complaint the police can't enforce the handicap space violations or at least in my state.

Not the case in California. I've seen people get tickets in church parking lots when the rest of the lot was empty.

They can and do here.

Saw this today in El Paso, TX. Salami sandwich anyone?

Hitch says it's rated for 500 lbs. The refrigerator is less than that, so it's OK.

Unless it is resting oh the bumper.

Also the case here in NY.

Yep, need those parking stalls reserved for the blue tarp and grocery cart crowd.

I got in trouble yesterday I parked beside a handicap spot (I have a disabled vet tag) and my wife says that spot is closer to the door and my reply was I don't feel handicapped today and you need to walk so I sit in the car while she went in.

How else do you keep your beer cold on a camping trip?

Didn't you know horse people are special. Just ask, many will say they are special.

I do use the handicapped spot in front of the ATM once in a while, but only if the other handicapped spot is free (not much chance of them both getting occupied within the 30 seconds i am at the ATM)

I confess I’ve used the handicapped bathroom stall when that was the best option.

If anyone came nearby, my steps always went into limp mode.

Not really towing, but ouch!

Tugging perhaps...

Who would you report it to? One of their employees was out on a forklift trying to maneuver around it... obviously they don't care.
A lot of people with big vehicles, especially hauling trailers feel that they are entitled to park wherever they feel like, because they won't fit in a parking space. I'm just the opposite, preferring to park on the back side of the parking lot and leave the closer spots for people who can't get around as well. It also is a lot easier to get out afterwards, plus because they are the farthest from the door I am always parked in the same spot and don't have to remember where the truck is.

As someone who regularly hauls trailer and equipment. I don't park right in front of the building.

I usually park out of the way in the back of the parking lot. This way if I need to take up several spaces it's no big deal.

It also makes it easier and safer to get back out when I leave.

Same thing with the service truck. It takes up 1.5 spaces in length. I do the same thing with that. Back of the parking lot so I can maneuver in and out easy. Your also less apt to be in the way and less chance of someone parking tight to you, boxing you in.

I do the exact same!

 

[Jstpssng]

I do the exact same!

I do also… in my small pickup. I always get the same parking place so there’s no need to remember where I parked. It’s also easier to get out, and good exercise to walk that extra 200 feet.

People are starting to catch on though. The last time that I went to the grocery store, somebody was parked in MY spot!

Did you leave them a note on their windshield?

re dedicated Handicapped Parking spots

I do not use them when I don't need them, parking permit displayed regardless.

I have a lifelong permanent physical disability, a weak knee, and I'm not as young as I once was.

I need the WIDER spaces to get in / out of the vehicle, the proximity to the store or building is not as much of a concern, as I can walk across the parking lot. I do use a cane at this point, most of the time.

One day, several years ago I received a parking ticket in my hometown, while parked on the road, in a 1 hr designated parking spot, with the permit displayed. I was ticketed for being 3 minutes over the 1 hr limit, as per the $45 ticket. I had patronized 6 business establishments in that time period, walking with a cane. I paid the ticket, and added a scathing letter to City Hall re the pettiness of that ticket, citing that 1 hr time limits were insufficient in designated spaces. Three months later, ALL of the designated spaces around town, and several new spaces added, had brightly painted blue signs on the pavement, and on the posts, now with a 2 hr time limit. Best $45 I ever spent

Wow, 3 minutes….most jurisdictions around here will give you an hour grace with a placard displayed.

Never fails when I go to TSC with a trailer, there’s some asshat in a car parked in the three trailer spots, I may or may not park too close to them.
