>If someone did block my driveway, and I needed to get somewhere I would politely ask them to move because that's how human interaction should work. I'm not trolling, I'm making a general plea for more cool headed reasonable human interaction. That is like politely asking people to not park in handicap spaces instead of handing out tickets in the hundreds of dollars. The reason the tickets are justified is because it wasn't an accident (I'm sure a small number of cases are and it might be possible to get it tossed if the space is improperly marked). They purposefully, and dare I say selfishly, made the choice to do something they knew they shouldn't have which can cause problems for others. Yes, you could respond politely, but at a certain point politeness doesn't really cut it. Which is why we have tickets. >You're doing far more harm to them than they did to you. That kind of enforcement just makes the world a much more unfriendly place, and does not serve the common good. A couple hundred dollar ticket can really mess up a lower income family, and they were only using the space for a couple of minutes while they ran in to buy some milk/drop off a letter/what have you. You are definitely doing more harm to them than they did to you. But if you didn't do this, those parking spaces would never be available for those who are truly handicapped because of the unending stream of people running in for just a minute.
