http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/174/handi22rw.jpg DEL MAR, CA - Apparently since he was just in the striped area, he didn't feel it was part of the handicapped spot, or that he was obstructing the view of a narrow driveway. I never used to see businesses hijacking handicapped spots, but over the past few months it's become quite commonplace in the San Diego area. Is this a new trend, or did I just never notice what inconsiderate jackasses people are? Dave |

If you feel like it, call the police.. the striped area is considered part of the handicapped space, and carries the same penalties (currently about $300 in Palo Alto, your rate may vary depending on how greedy the county gets with admin fees, etc..) I suspect you could do the same if the space is blocked with boxes, or other store crap, unless they have additional spaces temporarly designated. -- -- Welcome My Son, Welcome To The Machine -- Bob Vaughan | techie @ tantivy.net | | P.O.

People who are dropping somerthing off or picking something up seem to feel they have the right to double park, park in the driveway, park on the sidewalk - basically park wherever they want. From the UPS truck driver to the guy in the F150 who's delivering pizzas, these people feel they are "special" and are entitled to block everybody else for the sake of their own convenience. |

And yet this guy was there when I got there, and still there when I left. And I had time to legally park, go figure... Dave |

And I had time to legally park, go figure... That makes no difference to these IBJAMs. A legal parking spot could be 5 feet away, but they'll never use it - after all, that's 5 extra feet they would have to walk. BTW, since I know someone is going to ask, IBJAM stands for I'll Be Just A Minute. It refers to the people who believe that temporal brevity is the equivalent of diplomatic licence plates, allowing them to park wherever they want as long as their vehicle is blocking traffic for "just a minute." |

The are signs all over that you can only load and unload passengers, yet, there are those that park and leave their vehicle right there. When I come across them, I try to manuver so my wheel chair lift will block their leaving but allow other traffic to pass. Doug |

I was in San Francisco yesterday, and I parked on the sidewalk. |
