Just keep driving until you find a spot that isn’t a disabled parking bay.Absolutely bananas carry on from the Garda, how are you supposed to drop somebody off, just stop in the middle of the road like a bus
I wonder would the Garda have said anything if Mrs G was a taxi driver??

You're totally right it's not "rocket science", it's not parking it was a drop off or set downJust keep driving until you find a spot that isn’t a disabled parking bay. It’s hardly rocket science.
44 Disabled Persons' Parking Bays | 44. (1) Subject to sub-article (2), where traffic sign number RRM 015 [Disabled Persons Parking Bay] is provided, a vehicle shall not be stopped or parked. |
There was nobody there. No disabled person looking to park. It was an empty street. And even if a disabled person happened to come along, they’d be able to see what was happening for the 10-15 seconds it takes for someone to get out of a car. It’s this type of pedantic nonsense that turns people against the Gardai. You’re barking up the wrong tree here. Calling it ‘selfish behaviour’ is ridiculous.But can you not see that you were blocking the parking bay? If everyone did it then it is going to block it for people who do need it.
It’s not just about making it convenient for yourself. Selfish behaviour.
And is there a time limit on the €225 payment?
Yes, a further 28 days, so 56 days in total from the date on the fcn.
After that the matter is automatically escalated to a court summons.
So you can't park in a parking bay for disabled people, as opposed to a disabled parking bay, unless you don't have a leg to stand on?Disabled Parking bays are off limits for anyone except those allowed to use them.
What if you're in a car park and as you go around a corner someone is reversing out of a spot and in order to allow them to do so you have to stop, blocking a parking spot for disabled people?It absolutely is selfish behaviour, if everyone did it then it impacts those who need this parking spots.
As you cannot see that, it’s the definition of selfish behaviour.
“park”, in relation to a vehicle, means keep or leave stationary, and cognate words shall be construed accordingly;Can somebody who actually knows here clarify, I was under the impression parked under the road traffic act meant stationary and has nothing to do with whether the engine is running or not.
Contending that it’s selfish behaviour is the definition of mindlessness and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding around how to analyse a situation.It absolutely is selfish behaviour, if everyone did it then it impacts those who need this parking spots.
As you cannot see that, it’s the definition of selfish behaviour.
So why didn't Mrs G stop on a part of the empty street that wasn't designated as a disabled person's parking bay?There was nobody there. No disabled person looking to park. It was an empty street. And even if a disabled person happened to come along, they’d be able to see what was happening for the 10-15 seconds it takes for someone to get out of a car. It’s this type of pedantic nonsense that turns people against the Gardai. You’re barking up the wrong tree here. Calling it ‘selfish behaviour’ is ridiculous.
And is there a time limit on the €225 payment?
Maybe she's a Buddhist? They don't like the disabled; bad Karma and all that.So why didn't Mrs G stop on a part of the empty street that wasn't designated as a disabled person's parking bay?
I get the pedantic cop bit, but they are out there so why paint a target on your back?
