yeah i agree although the slots are often empty but they cannot use any other slot so just one slot leave it to them bah......Originally posted by rallykid:Hi fellow motorist,
I would like to highlight to all drivers the importance of us not parking in the handicap parking slot. There are special reasons for their existance. I have a friend who have a physical disability and desperately need these slots. Sometimes there are inconsiderate ppl who parked at his slot.
It may be convenient for us to just park and leave but for a person using a wheelchair, its not possible to park at normal slots as they need to open the door fully in order to take out the wheelchair. So I hereby plead to all to consider this the next time you think that no one uses the hadicap slots. With mutual respect, we can make this country a universal place for all.
Thanks for reading.![]()
Toilets are different from parking lots.... you don't spend just 5 minutes in a parking lot right?Originally posted by so_nice:there are just too many pain ass in sg..just like some bloggers..who confessed she "enjoy" using toilets reserved for the handicaps...because its bigger and cleaner. damn it.
Maybe these ppl don't understand that some physically challenged ppl may have weak bladders due to nerve damage, etc. They may need it urgently. Yes, these toilets may be bigger and cleaner but its not there without a purpose.Originally posted by so_nice:there are just too many pain ass in sg..just like some bloggers..who confessed she "enjoy" using toilets reserved for the handicaps...because its bigger and cleaner. damn it.
Not trying to stereotype any drivers here but the car that is always found using my friend's handicap slot is a mercedes. It all depends on the attitude of the driver itself. I have frens driving merc but they respect this issue too.Originally posted by ShutterBug:In the REAL world, SELFISHNESS is still thick in society.
The reason not many people park in handicap lots is because of the S$400 fine warning sign next to it. If not for the S$400 Fine sign, half the time, the handicap lot will be occupied by very able bodied motorists - on many occasions, I see branded cars have this tendency to park in handicap lots; Merc., BMW, & Lexus.
Why? Because they have money to get away with it for parking there.
The Govt ought to hire pple to smash up the cars that were parked in the handicap lots! That will be a more fitting punishment den a fine! Even better if the car park is near to an Army camp... can borrow a TANK to do the job!Originally posted by ShutterBug:In the REAL world, SELFISHNESS is still thick in society.

i'm refering to the mentality shown here. it's not about the time spend.Originally posted by LH83:Toilets are different from parking lots.... you don't spend just 5 minutes in a parking lot right?
a chair? How about forcing the offender to go on his hands n knees?Originally posted by ShutterBug:Implement new penalty for parking in handicap lot:
Make the offender Sit on a simple chair in any empty handicap lot 4 hours for a number of days, randomly picked by authorities. He shall also wear a signboard in front and back, stating: "I, Name and NRIC, am sorry for being selfish and inconsiderate, by parking in a handicap lot."
This will surely deter those who have the money to pay for the $400 fine.
