My car had handicapped tag + H/C hangplacard. A slim person came along and very kindly offered to get in driver seat & back the car out for me to get in.

Carts will be close if they don’t stagger park. If only one cart in space people complain call the entitled.

That qualifies you as a criminal

Have you ever noticed a car that looks horrible with dents and rust, paint peeling, and an eyesore. People will park as far away as possible. As if the driver just doesn’t care if someone door dings or not. What happens when we see that vehicle parked next to our nice vehicle? Lo we start inspecting for the door dings and damages if they park to close. I parked a classic vette in a parking lot at least 100 ft from another vehicle. With a almost empty parking lot I went back to my classic and Lo n behold a scrap yard car parked inches away. Not one other vehicle within 100 feet. Maybe I need rat rods!

Law enforcement has authority over ALL handicap spaces regardless of location ... just as they have control over who gets a permit / placard.

airstreamingypsy 11-17-2020 09:19 AM

Instead of taking a photo, I would have made a call to the police. This is ridiculous. The driver of that car should have paid a fine, and the impound lot to get their car back.

Phil D 11-17-2020 09:41 AM

Let them know that you are ****ed
 
Leave there car door Get a screwdriver and leave a lot of HOLES in there door

Send the picture to the Police Department and to the Sheriffs Office. Whoever this is needs to be ticketed.

Property like this is public access subject to law enforcement. Violations involving handicap parking can result in arrest in Florida.

rlcooper70 11-17-2020 10:36 AM

Was it a prank? Or was the lot so full that this was the only space? Clearly the driver was not thinking about you. Sorry.

Maybe the driver had some sort of personal emergency.

Sure, like they were overcome with a sudden psychological need to actualize stupidity and selfishness!

OP should trade in for a 2020 Hyundai with Smart Park. Using the remote, you can back the car out of the spot enabling you to get in your car and away from crazy people who would park like the one next to you.

2020 Hyundai Sonata TV Commercial, 'Remote Smart Parking Assist' [T2] - iSpot.tv

Simple solution.

The car that blocked you in committed a Violation of FSS 316.155. Your car was properly parked in a handicap space with painted lines and a required sign. You should have called the police. An officer/deputy or a civilian traffic enforcement aide could issue the citation. It's a violation regardless if is public or private property. It would be the officers discretion on towing the car.
The officer must actually see the violation, not just a photo.

As I am in a wheelchair, this kind of stuff makes me furious. Stay out of areas meant for disabled and off the areas needed to get out of van.

Another annoyance....women who use handicapped stalls as dressing rooms. A curse on you!🧟*♀️🧟🧟*♂️🧙🏻

kimreniska@mac.com 11-17-2020 11:55 AM

Why were you parked in a handicap spot? Just having a93 yr old passenger does not allow you to take a handicap parking spot.

Maybe the OP has a handicap placard.

yanksansky 11-17-2020 12:31 PM

Illegally parked also....imagine if you had a wheelchair...next time call The Village Community Watch...they may be able to help

jerry van 11-17-2020 12:36 PM

Is that stripped area a no parking zone? Just wondering.

Illegal or inconsiderate parking has been documents on VNews. Outcome 0 it continues whether it be a car, truck, or golf cart. Villagers seem to think they are privileged by a significant minority.

Did you call the police?

Hope you called the Cops to have them tagged ticketed and towed.

There is no excuse for ignorance.

If not, perhaps the Chevy driver has a placard and sees that the handicap spot was being used by someone who does not have the proper credentials. Sooooo then the handicapped Chevy driver did the best he could squeezing into the spot that should have been available? If this is the case, he/she did a pretty good job.... Just sayin'

Sounds like you may have been a chevy driver in the past. Just sayin'

Boy, that's some scenario and a lot of ifs. I am sure he had a handicapped sticker, but even if he didn't, the jerk on the left had no right parking where he did in a no parking zone. He did not do his best to park in a no parking zone whether he was handicapped or not, and he did a lousy job of pinning in someone.:boom:

pauld315 11-17-2020 09:49 PM

This happened to somebody I know when she was in SS with her adopted children. One of which is in a wheelchair. She happens to be an employee here at one of the restaurants. She immediately called the police and the police ordered a tow truck to tow the offending car to impound. That is what should have happened in this situation.

You make the assumption that the OP was handicapped and was parked legally in the handicap parking space. To date, I do not believe the OP has stated that he/she was parked legally in that spot. Perhaps this is why he/she didn't call 911!?!

tophcfa 11-17-2020 11:32 PM

Dam, if I was 45 years younger, with a couple of my buddies, and the car was a VW bug, we would have just picked it up and flipped it over. Those were the days : )

mike234 11-18-2020 06:08 AM

it appears you are parked in a handicapped spot. do you have a handicapped permit, or plate.
your answer is important.

Unless it happens to you?

this happened to us a couple of years ago...although it was a cart that someone squeezed into a small space that allowed them obviously to get out, however there was no way I could open my driver side door to get in

you know that the selfish cart driver knew that I'd have to crawl over from the opposite side, but just didn't give a damn
