I've been illegally parking in handicap spots my whole life.
Anybody wanna take a guess how many tickets or tows I've had?
I was gonna guess zero. Cops down here don't even bother with it even when called.
You'd be correct.
But detective kellory is now hot on the trail so I may have to change my wicked ways.
The question you need to ask yourself is "did he see me park here, or not?" In all the confusion, I might have missed you, so the real question is "do you feel lucky? Well do you, punk?
Just a guess but I doubt if you have ever parked in a HC spot, ever....
Oh, I park in 'em all the time, when my handicapped wife is in the car. It is for her benefit after all they exist. I'm in good enough shape I don't need 'em, and don't use 'em for my benefit. There was a while when I needed a cane due to hip pain and the threat of a fall, but that turned out to be a problem with a worn out boot.
The only time i have parked in a handicap spot by mistake, the paint was so worn i could not tell it WAS a handicap spot. I moved the car as soon as i figured it out.
So in answer to your question, no, I do not abuse them.
