What about handicapped parking?
About a month ago I noticed that a golf cart was parked at Colony Plaza in a handicapped parking space. There was no handicapped placard displayed and the driver even made sure to park smack dab in the center of the space so no other cart could share the space.
Now I didn't get bothered by the fact that if the space wasn't occupied legally and I wouldn't be able to use the spot where I could have deployed my mobility ramp to unload and be assured that the deployment space would still available when I returned. It didn't bother me because I was waiting in the vehicle while my wife ran in to the store to pickup a few things and I didn't need the space at that time... but another legitimate user might have needed it and couldn't because of someones inconsiderate behavior.
As I sat waiting for my wife, the question came to mind of how can this kind of illegal parking be inforced when the carts are not registered and therefor not identifiable? Write a ticket to no one, a citation that wasn't worth the paper it was written on? Seems to me that anyone with a cart can break the accessable parking laws at will without being held responsible or facing consequences!
Am I missing something here where it could be enforced... like maybe immediate towing if the drivers not there to be identified? I'm interested in hearing what others have to say about this!
