Even if there is a law, enforcement is lacking or non-existent and people get away with it most of the time. </strong> FYI, it is also an offence to park in a disabled lot in the little red dot.

How could the non-disabled drivers do that? Don't they know that it might happen to them someday? I was in Auckland a couple of years ago. The people there don't park at the disabled parkings at all. Even if they want to, they need to show proof that they're disabled. No, not "physical" proofs. I suppose the locals just want convienience. They don't want to go round and round searching for parking. Oh well, I suppose the higher authorities don't care because their relatives ain't disabled. Sorry if I sound sarcastic... I just can't help but vent my anger at the situation. Sighs. <strong>Peter: Some of us prefer to go for convenience over consideration. It all boils down to education, civic-mindedness, courtesy and common sense which is sorely lacking nowadays. Although I believe the same do happen in other countries, it is not as rampant. Thank you for sharing. </strong> Oh my God! :o That is terrible. How could the non-disabled drivers do that? Don’t they know that it might happen to them someday?
