Government considers photo-ID parking permits

I have a mate whose wife has MS. She is in a wheelchair, he drives. Who’s photo goes on the card.
He takes her somwhere (she tries to be independant) and drops her off; it has to be in a wide park to get her in the wheelchair; then comes back to get her.
Every one of these has a fit driver and disabled passenger.
What goes on the sticker?

Plenty of what ifs there che. The ticket for parking in a disabled spot is about $230. People do it anyway. I guess they are not too worried about the cash fine.

People will do it anyway because they are lazy. I reckon we need those big wheel lock things and then tow the car. Inconvienience is better than a cash fine.

and how about the situation of, the driver is able bodied but the passenger is disabled
they have a disabled sticker for when driving the disabled person around, whos name and photo is on the car?
what if the disabled person doesn’t have a licence to compare them too?
what if the driver is parking in a handicap spot in order to pick up the passenger from a doctors appointment? so the handicapped person is not near the car when the parking inspectors pounce

Thats a good point Thumper
I really cant understand some people. I would never park in a disabled place it just isnt the right thing to do. Ok some other no parking zones I have used at one time or another but not disabled zones.

It was probably put forward by some PS who wants a raise in his salary. All “great” Govt ideas come out that way. They usually get the payrise.

God, I am getting too cynical……

“their name is on the parking permit, their photo is on their licence.

what are we playing at here?”

Exactly more bloody bureaucracy. What a waste of tax payers money

their name is on the parking permit, their photo is on their licence.

what are we playing at here?

Its not like theres any f%$#*@& spaces to park in anywhere in the city anyway……

I would think that having to get a photo taken for the permit would be harder for diabled people. I know how much having to front up to get a photo for my license renewal shits me. Maybe the reduction in the number of permits in NSW was because the disabled people that may rarely use the pass, but like to have it just incase, now find it too much of a hastle to get one. But oh no the government wants us to think that the reduction is because they have caught out all those bad people that were robbing the system. Bullshit.

While they’re at it they need to check out the section of car park at the top of Marcus Clarke Street, reserved for the pensioners club or whatever it is but apparently for a ‘donation’ to the club you can get one of their keys – all allegedly of course and heard around the water cooler…
