Disabled/OKU Parking Lots Invaded! (II)

Disabled Parking Lot 

Here are more photos of proof on my earlier posting on Disabled/OKU Parking Lots Invaded! This time I was at Carrefour Seberang Prai (Butterworth) around 8.30pm last night. When I got there the parking lots were full. I have to drive around the car parking lots twice to look for a parking spot. I saw a total of 8 Disabled Parking Lots with huge and bright clear signs that read: “Reserved For The Under Privilege Patrons Only!” - in malay, english and chinese languages. That really looks and sounds great! But the problem again here is that, all the cars that were parked there were not ‘the under privilege patrons.’ All the cars did not display the Disabled car’s stickers.  So I can safely presumed that the cars did not belong to ‘the under privilege patrons.’ . I waited at the side for a parking space, then I saw this guy (definitely not the under privilege patron), pulled out from the disabled parking lot. So I pulled in, parked there and took some pictures to validate with what I wrote in my previous article. And I am sure if I go around every establishments the situation will be the same.  See photos below.

The two cars parked here are without the disabled car stickers

Notice the huge, bright signs above. Too bad it does not serve its purpose

    I noticed that the parking lots in your photos are of standard sizes. They are not suitable for disabled drivers who use wheelchairs. If the car of a disabled persons is sandwiched between two other cars, he will not be able to open the door fully to get in or out of the car.

    Tesco should take more effort in ensuring that these parking are of the correct specifications. The ideal width is 3.60m.

    But good work anyway, Daniel, in highlighting the inconsiderate people who steal these accessible parking and deprive people who truly need it from using it.
