In the hurry, a blind woman from Traun (49) forgot to put her disabled card in the car when she parked at a disabled parking space. The vehicle was promptly towed away, which cost 225 euros. The woman feels alone.
An urgent need and a moment of carelessness – that costs Gülfide Egrigöz (49), from Traun, now 225 euros. The blind woman has a disabled driving license and of course does not control the car, but her assistant. They had traveled to Linz together the week before to attend an appointment. “We then parked at a disabled parking space. Because I urgently had to go to the toilet, it was very hectic, “the woman from Traun describes the situation. And so it happened that people forgot to put their proof of identity in the car.
The car was already gone
When the two women returned to the car half an hour later, the shock was: the car was gone. They then discovered a police patrol nearby and asked the agents where the car could be and why it was immediately towed away. They didn’t get a ticket. “The agent said:” Imagine being disabled. If you can’t walk or are just as blind as you, would you rather have the car dragged away or get a fine? ” I have to say that I always travel with a walking stick and you should actually see that, “the blind woman wondered.
No grace
After a few phone calls it became clear that the car was on the grounds of a towing service. Eggigöz showed its invalidity certificate there, but it didn’t help. She had to pay 225 euros. “I don’t understand why you can’t get help in such an exceptional situation,” she says.
10 percent discount
The “Krone” asked the towing service if they could not be accommodating in this case – the woman had an invalidity certificate. “We have no play area, it is arranged by law. But we have given her ten percent discount, so we can do that. ” Eggrigöz will appeal against the fine for illegal parking.
