Reserved, free parking space for my Lexus

Observed by pete on Fri, Jan 22 2010

I have seen this car parked on the same spot on a 'No Standing' zone on my way to work every day for at least two years (actually, it's not the same car; he had a red Lexus before buying this 2009 model a few months ago). The permit is from the Police Department of the City of New York School Safety Division, and expired December 31, 2009. The permit appears to be a photocopy, with the license plate handwritten at the bottom. It is placed upside down under the registration and inspection certificate, so it is hard to see.

The car is parked there all day, because i sometimes see it still there on my way home. I have never in all this time seen him get a ticket.

Of particular irony is that he parks illegally right next to a parking garage, and that the vanity license plate makes it clear that the owner is very religious.

Where are the no parking signs? This picture just shows a car parked on a street.

What has this world come to when parking placards are being placed UPSIDE DOWN on the dashboard!

Guess what? There's a school right at that address so maybe, just MAYBE the car belongs to a school safety officer??? If you know who drives the car, confront him/her about it. Good luck.

Oh yeah, the new plaques haven't come out yet. So old one is still valid.

@mvodohmh - new placards are indeed out. I've seen them all over.

Just because you see the car in the morning as you go to work and then again when you return home, doesn't mean it was there all day.
