7. I did not know about your wife's immobility.

I saw this story back in September and should have posted it back then. It was published shortly after some undesirable neighbors were evicted from my apartment complex. The good news is that I presented the article to my apartment manager and they tore up the concrete to post a disabled parking sign next to the spot near my building.

Obviously the new laws affect everyone so the information should be widely shared. While I downloaded the app to report violations, I don't want to be punitive except for the worst repeat offenders, so perhaps the educational class is warranted for the first offense. Since the people committing this offense are too busy to have to walk a few additional yards taking a significant amount of their precious time attending a class might have more effect. Is saving a few minutes by parking in disabled parking worth attending a class? Is it worth repeating that offense if they are aware of the fines or that doing community service is not effective time management?

Thank you for pinning the thread and please remember to download the app. The legal authorities can consider the proper punishment for the offenders whether it is educational classes, community service, or fines.
