1. Would this imply that anyone illegally parks and then goes daven would not be yotze?

2. The Rav, (and many others have spoken on this topic – Rav Pesach Krohn in Lakewood), is saying one who parks in a handicapped parking spot is depriving the one who really needs that spot. This inconsiderate attitude is what the Rav is referring to. Double parking, blocking driveways, etc, all inconsiderate and selfish. Then you daven that Hashem should consider your needs…

3. Rabb Fuerst from Chicago has what it takes to be a posek and say what the halacha is and make it public in his own words. He does not care of PC (public correctness) or win the popular vote. Both he and Rabbi Krohn have spoken out against those that park in handicap parking spaces and those that claim they have the right to discard handicap spaces.

   Lakewood TWP itself should be ashamed that it allows so many handicap parking spaces to not be maintained or to be discarded.

   if you use it – you may chas vshalom need it. no ones asks to be disabled. A person who is disabled is relying that there will be a handicap space at their child’s school, the wedding halls, doctors offices, food stores and even if they need to do business in the industrial parks establishments. f there s no space they usually must go back home and not be able to daven with a minyan on the day there felt ok to go to shul or to accomplish their tasks.

   Someone who is disabled does not have to be in a wheelchair or dismembered. A person who has a chronic condition and cant walk far such as cardiac patients or neurological conditions may appear to you as not disabled but they are.

   The spaces are to be used only with a vehicle displaying disabled plates or placard and ONLY if the assigned disabled person is an occupant of the vehicle. If a family member- or spouse uses the vehicle to park in a disabled space when the designated disabled person is not in the vehicle- even if you claim you are doing a task for the dabbled person who s at home- that’s illegal.

   parking in the blue stripe line on the side of disabled parking spaces is illegal to all. even the disabled.

   And it is not a loading zone for customers or for vendors doing deliveries to stores….

4. There was a case in court of someone who got a ticket for parking in handicapped spot. His defense was that there were no other spots available and those spots are only for the handycapped people to be closer. but if it is the last spot in the lot then he should be allowed to park. He won that case. Wonder if pertains to the psak.

5. by local, state and federal laws it is always illegal to park in a disabled spot without a placard and the disabled not being occupant in the vehicle.

   maybe your case had a lucky day with the judge or some political connections.

6. i need the handicapped spot and when I see a car parked in a handicapped spot i always say something. usually they are gracefull but once while on crutches a person answered me” i left you 2 other spots, one for each one of your crutches”
   But just one thing, dont ask a person who has a handicapped sighn what their handicapp is. Even if you cant tell, it is wring and sometimes embarrasing
