Inconsiderate Drivers

This lady just conveniently parks at the disabled bay and walked out to the bank ATM

Today I saw a lady driver who conveniently parks her vehicle at the parking bay meant for disabled drivers in front of Standard Chartered Bank.

I stood there waiting for her to alight from the car and pointed to her that her vehicle was parked at the bay meant for the disabled. Her reaction to me was "Just for a little while" and walks off to the bank ATMs.

Malaysians are basically bunch of selfish people. We have legs but we all want to park RIGHT IN FRONT of the bank. Just look at our schools during the mornings and evenings. Parents are not willing to park further down the road and walk to the main gate but willing to double or triple park and cause traffic congestion to the road.

The lady "just a little while" response would cause great inconvenience to the disabled. Imagine if you are a disabled driver and had to park further because someone needed the parking bay for their "just a little while excuse". They had to wade the dangers of fast moving traffic to just perform a simple banking task that all of us - the able bodied people taken for granted.

For the lady to park inconsiderately today.... remember..... 

YOU COULD BE A DISABLED TOO ONE DAY.
