Plug-In Parking Abuse Hall of Shame: Post Pic's Here

I mentioned doing this a few months ago (in this thread, I believe)! These are like the orange stickers the highway patrol puts on your car's window warning it will be towed in XX hours (here in California, at least)? What's the store? If anyone was going to do this, I would strongly recommend only ever putting them at the lower back of the driver's door window. Anywhere else they could hamper visibility and you could end up causing a wreck and maybe getting in serious trouble. You could say it's their problem to remove the sticker before driving, but they might not have the ability to, or just might not, and, unlike law enforcement, you wouldn't be authorized to place the stickers.

I do support this idea, though.

 

Or even just ticket them for the revenue.

 

Yeah, that’s better phrased than my guess.

 

Also a Porsche owner joke.

 

...applies to plug-ins too...if the owners act like d--k heads.

 

Yep. Also a note on the windshield that says "If you park here again, I'll key the side of your car." That ought to change their behavior.

What can be done about this guy who keeps cheating the carpool lane with a fake green sticker?

 

My state (Washington) has a hotline specifically for reporting HOV / HOT / Ferry lane cheaters: 1-877-764-HERO.
HERO Program | WSDOT

Does California have anything similar?

Looking online, I suspect the answer to my question is (1) No, and (2) they don't care, enforcement simply isn't a priority. OTOH, just a few weeks ago my state performed yet another pre-announced and well publicized emphasis week on this issue: New HOV stickers | PriusChat

 

report the plate to the dmv

 

I saw the current gen Prius-V with HOV stickers the other day!

 

file a criminal report. you don't have to be a police office to do it. you have plenty of proof.

 

I see why I missed this page:

(1) My state's HOV cheater hotline goes to the statewide DoT, not to a local air quality board such as "South Coast Air Quality Management District", so I never even thought to look for the later ;

(2) Even after looking at this page, I still see no mention of HOV reporting or anything else that would suggest I look there.

"Toll free (800) numbers are restricted to local calls only."

 

So if I purchase a prime... does that mean I get to use the HOV lane when I visit my friend in Tn?

 

So then.. no sticker.. no HOV lane? Type of car does not make any difference? We don't have any stickers where I'm from... just trawl nets and 'gators

 

But if you have Apple Car Play you can drive anywhere you want.
