Delivery drivers ARE NOT exempt from these parking laws, why do they think they are?
Where's that channel link at?
I used to see disabled veterans patroling the local grocery store lots, protecting the 'Handi-parking spaces'. They couldn't ticket anyone; however, they were able to take pictures and leave a warning notice informing the selfish-pig of the law and that the authorities may still ticket them.
I had a school-pal that was a medical-transport driver who liked to use her 'Handi-permit' to park for herself. Once she did this while I was her passenger. I begged her to park elsewhere but she refused.
As she walked away, two veterans in wheelchairs rolled toward her...
It was awesome watching her try to make them share her perspective.🤭...
Then, the idiot thought they were merely talking to her, and headed into the store without moving her car.(She said that they never told her to move.😳...🙄WTF did she think they were saying?)
Anyway. The vets kept a tow-truck near by. Her car was gone in 5 minutes and took extra money to get the car back. I think the extra was simply a tax for being such a blatant a-hole.
To this day, she thinks she was treated unfairly.
Yeah. She's a beaut.🤣
USPS might have an exception because they're Federal. I'm okay with service vehicles utilizing handicap parking on streets because they provide services for the community.
Since I retired, I've taken a part time gig as a delivery driver and let me tell you, sometimes parking is difficult to find. But there is never a reason to take a handicap spot and I never will. Some of my co-workers think I'm silly to walk further by refusing to use one but I would rather walk further because often the users of those spaces can't walk at all.
You said you've retired, so I hope I'm correct in assuming you're a little older than some drivers. (By the way, please don't read any of this as criticism. I think your post is great. I'm just sharing an idea your post brought to mind.) I'm older too, probably older than you. Looking back, I don't think I actually understood what being in almost constant pain or being weak meant. We all think we're invulnerable when we're young, and we think we always will be. But as we age, we experience first hand what it's like to have something that used to be so simple become almost impossible. I took ballet for years. I couldn't do any of those movements now, and it makes me sad. I know that I'm often grateful when I realize it could be so much worse, and I know that it is worse for the disabled. I also realize that if I live long enough, I could be confined to a wheelchair someday, too. I didn't think that would ever happen when I was young.
QUESTION;;
Can a disabled driver BLOCK an illegally parked vehicle from leaving,,and call the police ??😮
I'm pretty sure that's illegal. A form of kidnapping.
I've seen it done. Guy was pulling in and was going to use the only open H/C spot, an Uber Eats driver zips into the spot and takes a food order into the building. The H/C guy yells at him to move his vehicle, Uber guy yells back "Fuck off, I'm only going to be a minute!" and continued on. H/C Guy pulls in behind Uber's car and calls the police. Police show up the see Uber guy yelling at H/C guy and H/C guy yelling back "I'll only be a minute!"
There were a couple of us watching the show and wishing we had popcorn. At least the police wrote Uber guy a ticket.
Ive done it. Sherriff's officer showed up and refused to ticket them. I refused to move for almost an hour. Still refused to ticket them. It was city employee vehicle. The video is on my channel.
Never take the law into your own hands as it will blowup in your face.
@@rirkc yet those parking bay offenders are doing exactly the same, kidnapping spots that aren’t there for them to use.
They park there because the handicapped space is extra wide and they use the curb cut for their delivery carts. I have a legit disabled parking placard and was prevented from getting into a store a few times because of those delivery people. One driver called me a trouble maker.
I've seen this happen so many times in Southern California! I've actually contacted those companies by email, and attached photos with information of these vehicles.
There is no ignorance, just laziness ......
At one of my property management properties one of the tow trucks we have contracted with us was there helping a tenant. Well this day while there my boss saw a delivery van parked in a disable spot, she called the tow truck and asked the driver if he could remove a van. Two minutes later the tow truck had the delivery van hooked up and heading out. I'm guessing the delivery guy wasn't happy and neither was the company.
But OH HOW SWEET!! I would have loved to have seen the look on the delivery drivers face!!
@@investigator77 ... I wasn't there for that, but I really wish I was. I was at another property when that happened.
So them saying they can’t use a photo and have to physically see the infraction also applies to any red light or speed camera photo.
They want the bay but not the disability. It is same in the UK.
I’ve made our city a lot of money in fines calling in on disabled parking violators, to the point that a couple of day shift cops and I are on a first-name basis.
Change the fine to $1000-2000 make it hurt if they don’t pay put out a warrant for the owner. Parking officials should call for a tow truck immediately when they find a violator and Oregon should change the law that a official has to be there that’s just saying we can’t be everywhere so people get away with breaking the law.
In Australia they try to help out commercial vehicles by having Loading Zones in and around te city where businesses are receiving deliveries, but you must have a commercial vehicle (truck or van) with signage on in prominent place showing name, address & phone No, of business, and many have time limits from 10-30 minutes depending on what councils believe will be the number of vehicles using & size of load. Large & heavy deliveries must be made on business owners property like loading docks or parking space for trucks.
My wife is a stroke victim since 2022 and we have a handicapped placard to make it easier for me to transport her. I never use it unless she is with me in the car. If I am running an errand and she is going to remain in the car, I will not park in a handicapped spot.
In NJ, you are supposed to remove the placard except when using it to park (it says so right on the placard). I imagine it's because it interferes with seeing the road. But many keep it up on their mirrors all the time. Given handicapped people's already difficult lives, if I were a law officer, I would be loath to issue them a ticket for that. Maybe just a warning of why it's important to remove it when not in use.
In Australia the Permit holder is only about the size of a Playing card and the Permit itself is credit card sized. It is supposed to be on the Left side of the windscreen and held in place by 2 suction cups. I have mine attached to the underside of the interior sun visor so I can flip it into view when I need to use it.The cards display an “Expiry date” which is 6 months for a Temporary card and 5 years for permanent disability.Some seem to leave it in view all the time, which is crazy as the sun fades the card to a stage where it becomes Brown and is not readable.
I was a delivery driver for 35 years and never illegally parked anywhere, I did thousands of deliveries to homes, business, and apartments.
We have the same issues here in Australia. It's pure laziness on their part. Makes my blood boil
Yup they think they can get away with it
I did delivery when I was much younger, never parked in a handicap or red parking.
Take a pic of the vehicle and plates, send it to their employer.
I broke my leg in 2019 and was confined to a wheelchair for 5 months. I lived alone. People who've never had to do it have no idea how difficult even the easiest things become when you can't stand up or walk. My microwave was out of reach. I couldn't get to my fridge without pulling myself up by a counter edge. I couldn't get my wheelchair anywhere near my toilet. EVERYTHING was more difficult. I had never been willing to park in a handicap space. But now I have such admiration for the disabled. I've had four heart attacks, so I have little energy and don't breathe well. But I haven't requested a handicapped parking permit because I can walk a little way. I bought a telescoping stool so I can sit if I need to. I definitely believe heart patients merit a handicapped space. But for me, personally, I will give up my space to people who can't walk at all, and that can include some heart patients.
I have Neuropathy and can barely walk. I was given a handicapped placard and then tag. I get so angry when people park in these spots with no evidence or using someone else’s placards or tags. I can only go to the doctor or pick up something to eat.
Here in Canada our fines are astronomical for Handicapped Parking cheaters. Your spouse, relative or friend cannot drive your car and use the permit. Only the person named on the permit can use an accessible parking space. If you use the permit without the permit holder in the vehicle, you could be fined up to $5,000 and the permit will be seized. Believe me, it cuts down big time on corporate vans, trucks, and cars, as well as people using someone else's permit. If you have a disability and you want to let your adult kids use it so they can get a parking space at the mall, you'll lose your permit, and I'm not sure if you could get another one very easily.
I drove for UPS for 30 years and never blocked or used a handicap spot
Many don't but for some reason a bunch do
Raise the ticket fine to $1,000 dollars or even higher. Leads to more revenue for the city/state. $1,000 fines are more "memorable" than a $170 fine.
That would put a stop to it
Also if you're using a palcard that doesn't belong to you, $1000 fine.
Dan is a great guy. His website is a really useful resource for wheelchair users.
YES!!
I’ve seen it with Jimmy John’s and the driver refused to move. Sent a picture to Jimmy John’s corporate twice and no reply. I would never patronize Jimmy John’s.
Having those ramps blocked also pose a problem for a person who uses a can. I often have to have help getting down a curb or on a curb.
What sort of can?
Officials need to start pulling these people's drivers licenses. As well as handing out fines❗
I live in Sydney Australia and have a Disability Parking Permit. These illegal Parker’s make it tough and couldn’t care less when confronted. Our Police and Council Rangers are able to book them but once again don’t really seem to do much about the problem. Even though the Fine here is $561 and ONE Demerit point on your licence.
Here in Ontario, Canada the first fine is up to $5,000, and you lose the permit, IF you had one.
@@investigator77 That’s the BIGGEST Fine I’ve heard of so far. That’s great, but I wonder how many have actually been Fined that amount. I notice you said “up to $5000” , and that’s a bit of a concern.Is it like many criminal sentences where it’s reduced on appeal to almost nothing? I hope not. Most governments just seem to Fine people for a very short period ,then forget about the problem and hope it all goes away again. More power to all governments and Councils that actually enforce the laws.
@@johnlaine2654 I think the first offence is $1,500. AND you lose the permit. I'm not sure what the full $5k fine would be for, but that's the way it's written. Possibly for parking in the downtown core? In the suburbs maybe it's the lesser amount, but on downtown streets, overnight maybe it's the larger fine? Sometimes losing the permit would be the biggest problem for grandma, because she'd have to re-apply for another one, and she'd have to explain how she lost it in the first place.
@@investigator77 Thanks for your reply. Perhaps the higher penalty is for repeat offenders. A better solution is for all fines to be at the High end and forget the minor slap on the wrist.I can’t see how a smaller suburban or regional area scale would benefit ,they would just use that as a “ Parking Cost” and happily cop the lower fine.It’s obvious the same attitudes apply the world over and drivers just don’t care as long as they get their parking spot.Immediate Loss of Permit and a suspension of their licence would hurt much more.
I despise many delivery drivers, of all kinds. It's not just handicap spots, either. The middle of the street, blocking driveways, using driveways and parking lots of other businesses, no parking zones....
YEAH some of them are the worst literally
If you have a placard just block them in and take your time as you shop. So sad they do this.
We've had delivery drivers not only be be in the disabled parking spaces but also block the handicap ramps from the parking lot up onto the sidewalks on more than one occasion as well.
In addition to a ticket, make them have to use a wheelchair for a month. >:[
Yup i have seen that sooo many times also
The guy who said (about disabled parking) "I didn't know that" shouldn't hold a drivers license, part of the test to qualify is all about signs.
165 dollar fine!!! That's a joke...make it 1,000 dollars and people will think twice
Claude, here in Ontario the fine is up to $5,000 AND you lose the permit. If they did a 2 week blitz at some of these spots where the parking cheaters are really bad in this video, it would cut down a LOT on the repeat offenders, and of course once they lose the permit then they won't be parking in a disabled space any more.
PRETEND THERE'S ALREADY A CAR THERE.
IN ALL CAPS!
My complaint is Jr drops off Granny who has the parking pass at the store door, and can park anywhere to wait, they have cell phones each. But no Jr parks in the closest disabled spot to wait for Granny to come back out 20 mins later. They display grans pking pass while they nap or lusten to music. Thats not proper use of the pass. Hate it.
Why doesn't the county set up an app to take pictures of offenders and send to the county to get a fine. At $250 a pop they won't be parking there so much. If you have a handicap placard, you would be able to get out of a fine.
Ridiculous, but it's not enforced anywhere so why shouldn't they?
That's the problem
If someone researched number of tickets written in Seattle, I bet it would be zero or close to it. Parking enforcement and police are understaffed and full of excuses when contacted about illegal parking. They say oh it’s Sunday or officer discretion to not write a ticket. Also, to get a hold of parking enforcement you have to call the non emergency number and hold times can be 30-45 minutes. So the person you are calling on is long gone by the time you get through to a person.
The average person sees this or their subconscious picks it up so they break the law too.
As a fedex driver I park in red all the time if there isnt any docks around the back of businesses on that plaza but never on the handicap areas
i Hate These P.I.A. So much so, I had cards printed up saying that this spot is for the "HANDICAPPED" and not for I have to run in & pick up something. Also, I listed the fines that a ticket will bring in NYC, Nassau & Suffolk. I wish I could put it into the comments..........
I make commercial driver I drive an 18-wheeler the easiest solution here is to have designated parking for delivery vehicles it literally resolves the problem just for the record what I drive would not fit in one of those spots so I've never done it
Fines need to be trippled or more! and pictures by citizens should be accepted.. since pictures by red-light cameras u can get a ticket!
It happened here in Saint Charles, Missouri, too
Try telling that to all the delivery people who deliver to the country fair convince store in union city Pennsylvania when the company redid things just a few years ago they moved the handicap spots to right in front of the main delivery door and I have complained about it to the corporate customer service and was told their deliverys arrive when no customers are at the 24hr open store
FYI... the TV channel is KGW, not KWG. 😊
They're just lazy and think that they are better than everyone else and I've seen someone parked in a fire lane in front of a grocery store but they stayed parked in the space until their passenger comes out but they never get a ticket makes no sense honestly
every civilian violation recorded by cellphone should be a $500 fine, half of the fine going to the reporter. Every commercial violation should be $5000 fine, with half going to the reporter.
When cops block them, 60 days in jail should be the penalty. Get tough, or give up
USPS about the only pass I’d give as they are delivering some people lifeblood in checks and such. But does not mean they should.
Gently remind the driver?
I'll let the offenders know they're illegally parked, but I won't be gentle.
We have all dAY. There is never enough spots!
"...or gently remind the driver... Are you kidding me? in this day and age of senseless assaults and murders? You don't know what the offender is carrying -- a razor knife, a machete, a handgun. I wouldn't take a chance on serious injury or worse.
Aren’t you armed when you’re out? If not, why not? Your statement is correct, but isn’t limited to parking violators. “Stay strapped or get clapped.”
yeah right.. Just like the City of Pflugerville or Police vehicals - Just visit a Costco parking lot on a weekend.
Delivery trucks should park in the middle of the street and block everything till they are done so, the girl in the wheel chair does not have to wait for a parking spot.
Block 'em in
Another example of people parking illegally. Its bad enough the public does it, but government vehicles....that's really bad...
City cars are just being lazy. Delivery trucks are gone quickly
they don't care in the UK
I want to see illegal parking in missouri
City cars should not park there but mail or delivery trucks need an offloading zone
and taxi drivers too
I would block them in get out and conduct my business and let them call the cops.
That is about the worst thing you could possibly do legally you would actually be committing a crime you better think
Razor knif to a tire work
All photos send to companies
The ignorance excuse doesn’t work for me. Ignorance means you didn’t know. Handicapped parking has been around too long for people Not to know. Try again. What’s the saying? Any excuse will do? Well in this case that excuse Dose Not fly. May they Never be handicapped and need this parking space. I’m sure their ideas that it’s ok will change then.
Call enforcement,block them from leaving
That is the worst device imaginable as a matter of fact by blocking somebody in you are actually committing a crime is a felony and you got the fact of the matter is is that they have the legal right to defend themselves from you so somebody can legally seriously mess you up and you'll be the one going to jail not them you might want to start looking into the legalities of what you're recommending before you start recommending it
I love seeing entitled drivers get their karma
Delivery truck drivers are not in that number
Shhhhh
Yep all the self righteous people ordering their stuff and get pissy if it is not there the next day. I am one of them.
Just have the companies get rid of one of those close spots. Make it a delivery zone. Parking for 5 -10 minutes strictly enforced. Problem solved.
I think fire lanes are exempt if you are there for business, the handicap spots I stsy away from, but I do park on sidewalks and block bike paths. Admittedly, I do drive 2 miles down a bike path to go between two properties, to save time.
I don't think so. I don't think fire lanes are exempt for any reason. Handicap spots are not exempt if you are there doing business.
It's amazing how easy people lie, and it just shows what an ignorant piece of crap they are. 'You realize you parked in a disabled spot?" "Yes." "Did you realize that this was illegal?" "Uh, I didn't know that." SMH!
