Well, I think legally even "waiting" in a fire lane is illegal, but I personally don't think that should be. If someone parks and turns off the car and leaves it there, it should be impounded.

But, many stores don't have loading zones, and I have no problem with someone pulling up in the fire lane and loading and leaving. It is illegal in Florida, but I don't see any danger. The POINT of the law is to make sure emergency vehicles can get there and save lives. If the driver is in the car, and a fire breaks out, they can drive out of the way.

Anyway, just my opinion, it IS illegal, and they should be ticketed. I see no point in a "special" ticket.
