Ah; if I could read, I'd be dangerous. But then, I see idiots parked cockeyed like this all the time. Sometimes, I even park right close the back end of the car so parked. -- Bill Funk replace "g" with "a" |

There are occasionally valid reasons to park diagonally across 2 spaces. For instance, my father has MS, and uses a powered wheelchair to get get around. His van requires 8 feet of unobstructed clearance to the right for the ramp, and ramp acccess. Sometimes the handicapped spaces are not available, or are configured in such a way that the ramp won't work, which means that he can't get in or out of the van. He has sometimes had to park diagonally across two spaces so that nobody can park to his right, and block access to the ramp. His van is clearly marked, but we all know just how much people read signs, much less stickers on the side/rear of somebody elses vehicle. The same situation could occur with anybody with a wheelchair. Remember that just because the handicapped space(s) are currently empty, dosen't mean that they are (a) configured properly, or (b) were available at the time the person parked. Also, many vehicles belonging to persons with permanent disabilities have permanent disabled license plates, and not the hanging placards on the mirror. In California, such plates are in the format DP##### or DV##### (Disabled Person or Disabled Veteran). Depending on age, they may also have a wheelchair emblem, but the earlier ones do not. The motto of the story is: take a closer look before you pass judgement. -- -- Welcome My Son, Welcome To The Machine -- Bob Vaughan | techie @ tantivy.net | | P.O.
