Really? What about people paking in handicapped space? Is this because they don't have time to think clearly, or is it because they only carr about themselves?

  When shopping, you're not in a smoke-filled tube with alarms blaring while people shout at you.

    My point exactly. It's not terror that's the problem. It's people.

      My post doesn't support your point at all, and is in fact entirely about the terror inherent in one situation and not the other.

        But why would people behave better when under extreme stress vs. under zero stress.

  Uhh that has absolutely nothing to do with this situation. What's the point in bringing it up? My point is that people in unfamiliar situations, particularly stressful and panicked ones, tend to stop thinking and revert to familiar behaviors. For most people, that's gathering their stuff before leaving. Their behavior will never change based on legal penalties applied months later. To get them to behave differently, they have to practice the different behavior beforehand. Parking is a normal, common activity with no reasonable expectation of panic or stress. People have plenty of time to think about what they're doing. That's why legal penalties are an effective deterrent. I have no idea what would lead you to believe that the situations are comparable.
