Father got a $250 violation for vehicle standing in front of handicap spaces (pic)

[remix405]

Here in california I would have gave your dad a ticket too you are not required to leave your car, as long as you block or obstruct any handicap parking on public or private property you can be cited. look up the v.c. They cited your dad for then go from there

What would you have done differently in this case? It was only a ~5 minute wait in order for your passenger to use the ATM.

Honestly, I'd drive around the block, and pick up my passenger in a few minutes after they use the ATM. Or I'd go to another branch... of course, that's easy for me, because the bank I use (which sucks for everything but this) is found EVERYWHERE. I can drive to about 5 branches in under 15 minutes.

Would you really think, "Hey, I don't want to block these spots for ~5 minutes, let me drive around a few times until my passenger is done?"

If you were obviously blocking the flow of traffic, than it is obvious that you cycle around.

Spur of the moment, I believe anyone would have stopped SOMEWHERE in that parking lot before even thinking about driving around. I mean, obviously if you knew you would get ticketed for it, you would not be standing there and start driving around, but if you had no idea, standing would be the first choice IMO.

you don't have to be parked at a marked spot to be parked... know what i'm sayin?

i can park on a highway if i really wanted to while not leaving my car

Personally i would have stopped behind already taken spots, You know you're not blocking anyones path that way and you could easily see them get into the car while you wait.

aiding in helping america lazy. there had to be parking somewhere.
so you gotta walk, I cant stand people that do this.
its the lazyness that gets me.

I could understand if your in a hurry, or a child in the car under 5.

Why would you take a spot for less than 5 minutes when someone else might need that spot because they're actually going inside the bank?

because I am not a child or disabled.

I just think its stupid to take a spot in a probably tiny parking lot when someone else would need it more.
