Alright so i got busted for parking in a handicap parking spot at my university. I had a valid disabled parking permit but it was registered to my dad and i honestly didnt know that the person it was registered to had to be present with me ALL the time. Ive always parked in handicap spots- the mall, walmart ect....- without my dad and had no clue it was illegal.
the security guy gave me a citation and said i could have it appealed by the dean.
the citation wont go on my record or insurance or anything since it was a on-campus thing.
but still, the worst case scenario would be paying 200$ >.<
anyone have an idea on how lenient they would be? or have been in a similar predicament as mine with a favorable outcome? lol

Karma! pay the fines and learn your lesson.
There are actual HANDICAP people that need that space but yet you took advantage of your dad's handicap parking permit! It's sad how you park at these slots ALL the time.
How will you explain to the dean? If your car have been parking there since the semester...

well, thats just it. i didnt know that i couldnt park there.
my dad knows i park in disabled spots too so its not like i do it without his consent or anything.
i always thought the disabled parking permit allowed the car to park there; not that the person who actually is disabled to be there.

sorry but you're a pretty selfish and stupid person for taking handicap spots.
you deserve that citation.

well now you know. hope you learned your lesson. pay the fine and move on with your life.

there's a very good reason why these parking slots are reserved for the handicapped, and you surely don't comply with the reasons. they're not for registered vehicles or whatever - they are for those handicapped people coming from their vehicles. in what have you been doing, you may have been causing a major hassle to the handicapped.

and i'm sure by now you have learned your lesson and will not do it again.

[phoenix rise]

pls. don't take anymore handicap spots in the future.

I think this topic should be closed, before many members are going to bash this topic starter.




But I'll tell you something, my friend did something similar like that except she wasn't a handicap anymore, but she still somehow had the handicap permit thing and she would always park at the handicap parking spots. She got caught of course, she had to pay more than what you need to pay, because false of disability. And she got her driving license suspended for a year too. And since you are not disabled or handicapped, your driving license could get suspended like my friend. Good luck. You deserve it You need to learn a lesson

It's definitely the person who's disabled, not the car. The car can obviously move around just fine. But I guess you've figured it out and had it pointed out to you by now.

I'm just curious to know this: Why did you always feel a need to park in the handicapped parking spots? I don't get why people who are not actually disabled do it. I don't mean "because I thought it was legal," I mean the actual underlying reason why you even thought to do it.

[Redux-Analogy]

I don't want to start anything, but yeah...you kind of deserved to get the ticket. I mean...I can see why you did it, as in, there are sooo many handicapped parking spaces on some campuses...it's cold outside, and you have a permit etc.. I can see the temptation to park in the handicapped spot.

I'm not going to be too harsh about this one because there are worse crimes out there to commit. I don't condone crimes of any size of course, but you know, you learned your lesson. It's time to move on.

[PDURRR]

just because you didn't know
isn't going to cut it

pay the fine, realize what you did wrong, life goes on.

Handicap parking spaces are reserved for handicapped people for a reason. Those parking spaces are located next to buildings so handicapped people can utilize wheelchairs or crutches to get around easily and arrive at their destination. Hope you learn your lesson and not commit the offense again.

you know this reminds me of a FML post i once saw...
this girl she parked in a handicapped space... and she got a ticket right as soon as she got out of the car...
the FML part was that she was REALLY disabled... stupid lady didn't see it.

SHAME ON YOU >=l...sorry. hope it goes well... may the -$200 from your wallet be a lesson to you!

[baboxxyun]

meh, i guess ill be expecting a 200 dollar fine then.
since the vast majority of you see this as unforgivable, im gonna assume the dean will too. =/

[justwildbeat]

Ignorance doesn't make you innocent. Anyhow just pay the fee and don't park in those spaces anymore.

[agnes.]

i can't believe you didn't know handicapped parking spaces were for people.
just pay the fee and learn a good lesson from it.

[tofumonkey]

D: HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?!
LMFAO MY DAD ALWAYS GETS MAD SEEING PEOPLE WHO ARE PERFECTLY FINE PARK IN HANDICAP SPOTS :P
but i've always wondered what if they're with their gramma or grandpa or something,
or some other big reason ya know?
just pay the fine haha.

[Boomx2Brian]

You should have started hobbling.

[x SaRaNg HaE x]

You're going to get stared down as stupid if you tell the dean you park in handicapped spots all the time because you "didn't know."
