[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 219148, member: 3704"] My boss is a quadraplegic, and the stories she can tell! Not only do people without tags or stickers park in the disabled spaces - they also park over the line of the spaces. Parking lots in our state have a certain percentage of spaces that are extra wide for vans with ramps. Countless times my boss has parked in such a space (her only choice) and come back to her van to discover an extra car squeezed into her ramp area or someone parked "over the line". Then she has to sit and wait until the person comes back in order to enter her vehicle - regardless of the weather - rain, shine, hot, cold. She tells me it runs about 50 -50. Some people are very embarrassed, swear they didn't understand that was one parking space, apologize, and slink off. Others have flipped her off - even using obscene gestures. Occasionally the police spot her, stick around, and give tickets. One enterprising policeman even went store to store to find the offending party. What a gem! People with disabled tags can be deputized to give tickets in our state. Unfortunately, if you write the tickets, you have to take the time to go to court if the offender decides to go there. My boss says she's much too busy to fool with that - so she has become very philosophical about the issue. Through all of this, she doesn't miss a beat. She just keeps on living her life. She's truly an amazing woman! [/QUOTE]
