Estacionamiento en espacios reservados para personas con discapacidad

Explicación Simple

Si tienes un auto con un permiso especial para estacionar en lugares para personas con discapacidad, puedes usar esos espacios. Pero si no tienes ese permiso, no puedes estacionar allí, aunque lleves a alguien que sí lo tenga.

Es como tener un asiento reservado en un concierto; solo la persona que tiene el boleto puede sentarse allí. Si alguien más se sienta en ese lugar, está haciendo algo incorrecto.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un permiso para estacionar en espacios para discapacitados porque tiene problemas para caminar. Un día, su amigo Carlos, que no tiene ningún problema, estaciona en ese espacio porque pensó que podía llevar a Juan. Carlos recibe una multa de $100 por estacionar en un lugar reservado.

Penalidades

Multa de $100 a $500 por estacionar en espacios reservados sin el permiso adecuado.
