Don't you just love those people who park stupidly?

On a different note, in a once in a blue moon trip to the US, a friend drove us and parked in an uncolored slot beside spots for PWD's, which were colored blue. We left came and back to find a $300 dollar ticket at the windshield with a note saying that pictures were taken.

Apparently, the slot we parked in was considered to be part of the PWD area. The sign that says so, which we didn't notice, was facing the other side.

Bottom line is, siguro dapat magkaron ng mabigat na multa para sa mga kupal na magpipilit na pumarada sa PWD slots (say, Php10,000-Php15,000) para matakot talaga mga tao.

...and yes, each of us chipped in funds for payment of the ticket

Pwede mag taking regarding sa parking for PWD issues dito sa forum? Paano nyo nalalaman na ang auto na nakaparada dun ay hindi PWD ang may sakay? Baka kasi PWD naman talaga yun

^kasi kita naman sila pag bumaba, wala naman buntis, pilay, matanda, bulag, etc. Gaya nung tinanong ko na driver ng fortuner e malakas pa sa kalabaw e.

Some readers of this thread might get carried away and do the same thing, not even sure if the driver or passenger is indeed disabled. Not to discredit anyone, we just have to be more responsible.

that's not a disabled parking spot, the disabled parking slot is the spots on his left and right. where he/she parked is a space given in between disabled parking spots so they can go in and out of the car easier. no one should park where he did, disabled or not.

The way this driver parked is indeed wrong. This picture is just an example. My point is just make sure there is NO disabled person in the vehicle if you aim to do something similar. PWD ID's are issued after careful scrutinizing by the City Hall & person may have showed it to guard before parking.

That's true. Being disabled isn't always seen. I've seen a few young people parking sa PWD akala nyo walang sakit ayun pala may cancer or kakatapos lang mag undergo ng surgery. Saken din kasi it happened a few years back where some people were telling me off that I was parking in a PWD pero di naman ako disabled until I lifted my pants and showed them my leg brace.
