That is why when I mentioned the traffic in Vietnam although it's a total chaos but people can get by because they know what the other's intention.

Oh Jerry! Do I have a story for you.

One day a young man in his brand new car was on his way to visit his girlfriend for you know what! As he came upon a stop sign, he slowed down. He was eager to visit his partner. Since no one was approaching in the opposite direction, he proceeded through. A police officer waiting patiently directed him to pull over. Obediently he done so, and the officer walked to the car and motioned to roll down the window. Upon doing so, the motorist asked why he was being pulled over. The officer asked for the motorist’s license and registration. He was going to give him a ticket. Being a smart ass, he told the officer, that he slowed down and no one was coming. That should be sufficient. The officer repeated his demand and Insisted that the motorist was going to receive a ticket. The driver asked the officer if the officer could prove the difference between slowing down and stopping he will produce his license and registration. The officer asked the driver to exit his vehicle. When done so, the police officer removed his baton and started beating the stupidity out of the driver. The officer asked the driver if he wanted the officer to slow down or stop. The moral of this story is following rules and not being a smart ass won’t get you hurt.

Jerry, I hope that you live a good long life without making mistakes like this. Besides, learning a life lesson shouldn’t hurt. You will get to live a good life as old as me!! LOL!

By the way, be careful what you wish for you may get it.

I have known several who have zipped across the gig-line by the time they recognized the "S T O P" means them.

I try to spot the signs ahead of the time I have to stop.

I just love the way there are stop signs plastered up all over private parking areas and non-public roads. Here is a little heads up, if you get ticked by any law enforcement go and look ate the back of the sigh, it must have a legal decal affixed to the rear of the sign or it is not considered a legal traffic sign. If not there you can go to court and challenge the citation and it must be thrown out as a non legal citation.

On another note, most all of the handy capped parking is illegally postings. Your city and county, state follow the Federal guidelines for this signage. You can purchase a copy of the regulations for the acceptable guide lines for these and other postings of municipal signage. In San Antonio/Texas the book on handy capped signage is about 80 pages long and is vary precise as to what is required. These instructions are extremally precise and frankly most handy capped parking is not considered properly identified and there for are considered non compliant with Federal/State requirements.

As example, the painted handy capped symbols that are on the parking lot ground are NOT recognized and are considered as of no purpose or use! (That is because your vehicle covers these and so have no value as a legal identifier of the space), they are not necessary and are discouraged for use, yet contactors continue putting these on the parking lot grounds!

Sounds like a bunch of excuses to avoid doing the right thing. Even if it’s technically not subject to ticketing why would you park in a spot reserved for handicapped citizens. Sure they may not be able to ticket you in a private parking lot when you blow that stop sign see how that works out after the crash. I think your insurance company will be “thrilled” with your decision.

I am always amazed that people in NYC do not mind parking in a handicapped parking spot even if they don’t have a placard or a HP license tag. I have also lost count of the number of cars that park at the street corners blocking the curb cuts. When my wife had broken her leg and needed a wheelchair for me to push her around, I wished I carried a knife to give all who violated these rules, four flat tires. Asking a store manager to announce over the loud speaker to move their car was useless. The manager didn’t care.

It's a good thing that you didn't have the knife because if you slashed the tires you would commit a much more serious offense than parking in the handicapped spot.

Clint, there is an old say, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse". I myself am designated a handy capped driver with one of those blue signs. There are days that I truly need that assistance, it does not mean I use it all the time. Being a good citizen is not about what you profess, but you are welcome to your opinion, that is your right. Being aware of the law and what it intends helps me make decisions about how I make my vote count, and I do exercise my rights within the law. But I'm sure you do that as well.

A taxi driver in Rome told me that the only rule is, "If you see a inch, take it."

Ask any person what color is a yield sign.if they tell you yellow, they are old but if they say red, they are pretty young.
