Possibly the most expensive charging session ever

[bigsky]

A minimum fine of $250 for the handicap parking error but I think it could be up to $500 if it's a first offense, then one can hope for a "fix it" for no front plate but I believe it could be a $196 fine plus court costs.

People make choices and often it depending on morals and income level.

On the other hand, maybe they left their placard in their other car, and proof of said placard would probably get the ticket dismissed. Additionally, the front plate and holder might have fallen off and they reported it lost/stolen, which again would get the ticket dismissed. ?

The dog ate my handicap placard. Heck, worth a shot, too

Did you get a look at the back of the Rivian? Perhaps their license plate is a handicap plate, and both you and the ticket provider missed that due to their bumper parking job. Or maybe they forgot to hang their handicap placard?

Y'all are so quick to jump on the "what an asshole" train, somehow that's more believable than someone is 1. handicap 2. forgetful & 3. Drives a Rivian, or perhaps so busy helping their wheelchair-bound grandma they forgot to hang the placard.



Wheelchair grandma was the passenger?

I just want to give you a shoutout, good sir.

Most people are (as made verily apparent in this thread) quick to judge or jump to conclusions, but you wanted to give someone the benefit of the doubt, and I applaud you for that.

You're my kind of human.

I understand that we didn't have all the facts and you were later 'corrected' that this individual was likely just doing the wrong thing. But it gives me hope that there are more people--like yourself--who take the time to say "you know what, there might be a perfectly fine explanation and I'm sure this person meant no ill will or malice."

The local Nissan dealership had a pair of L2 stations in the parking lot. One was in a regular spot and one was in a handicap spot. They would always tell me to park in the handicap spot, but I would refuse to do that. If that was the only spot available, I'd park on the other side of the curb and block access to one of the bays in their service department. I sold the LEAF in 2018 and haven't had to stop there since then.

It is my understanding the parking lot can authorize parking in an ADA spot. In some places the PD will only write tickets when called to do so.
