    You also need effective enforcement. In my country in the EU people park in disabled spaces all the time because “it’s just for a minute”. Some even make counterfeit disability cards (you need to have a valid one displayed behind your windscreen). The fines for that are huge but the actual enforcement is nonexistent so unless you call the cops and the driver is willing to actually wait hours for them to arrive there’s nothing you can do.

      Also EU. Also sucks, but is a biiiit better. From what I know, it’s city’s guard interest to solve parking issues and they are hungry for them monies. Call them and within 10-15 minutes they gonna arrive and boot every jackass they can get their hands on xD

      Only question is if they’ll get there in time for original target

      yeah, that’s the problem here too - lack of enforcement leads shitbags to think they’ll get away with it, and they mostly do.

      it’s one of those car-entitlement things that makes me ill if I think about it too much.
