Great news for those living in Australia! :tup:
THE Newman Government will increase fines in an effort to crack down on people illegally parking in disabled parking bays.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Scott Emerson said fines would be increased for anyone found to be misusing car parks designated for people with a disability.
"Later this year anyone without a valid disability permit parking in a disabled area will be hit with a fine of up to $220," Mr Emerson said.
"The sad fact is in order to get a closer park and save themselves a few extra minutes some motorists are parking in designated disability parking bays.
"There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour, particularly when it can have such a negative impact on our disabled community.
