[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 9551197, member: 7060"] I've parked in the striped areas by handicapped spots in the past, and I've never received a ticket, but I did get bitched out once by a guy that was parked in a nearby handicapped spot. Him: "Did you know that was a handicapped spot" Me: "Yes" Him: "Why did you park there" Me: "Because I didn't feel like taking up a regular spot with a motorcycle because the last time I parked at this place of business and took up a whole regular spot, some guy left a note on my bike threatening to knock it over because I took up a whole spot" Him: "Did you know that these spots are to be used for ramps for handicapped people?" Me: "Yes, and I'm not blocking where a ramp would go. You're parked two spaces away, and the guy that's parked here has a buick, and obviously doesn't have a ramp in his vehicle. Plus, I was in and out in less than 5 minutes." (I was parked all the way to the front where half of my bike was in one spot, and the other half was at the front of the spot facing it). I understand why it may be frustrating for handicapped people. I know it was wrong of me to park there, and I rarely park in those spots. Especially if it's for a long period of time. I guess my rationale for parking in those spots is that if you are in and out quickly, or if you are near your bike where it can be moved quickly, AND if there is nowhere else to park, it's excusable. The last thing I would want to do would be to be in the way of someone who actually needed to use that area for a ramp. No one wants to be "that guy". On a related topic, I sometimes use the handicapped stall in the bathroom at work if all the other stalls are full, and because it has a sink. If all the other stalls are full, the handicapped person should wait just like everyone else. I've never actually seen a handicapped person actually "need" to use it except for one time, where some jackass was in there when all the other stalls were empty. He was taking his sweet time, and I felt so bad for the guy in the wheelchair that needed to use it. I felt like knocking on the door and telling him to get up and switch stalls! Homer [/QUOTE]
