Should it be legal for pedestrians to "hold" a parking space by standing in the middle of it? Well, it is. Pedestrians have the right of way. And a Bartow County School Board member was arrested for "hitting" a 17 year old senior who was holding the space for her friend. The board member forced her car into the spot where the girl was standing, allegedly hitting her.
Now, I don't agree with endangering anyone's person so I agree that the driver should not have acted in that manner. But I also disagree with the 17 year old pedestrian's actions. I don't think it's right for a pedestrian to "hold" something that is meant for a car...just like a person standing in the grocery store check out line "holding" a place for their friend with the cart that comes barging in right in front of you.
What do you think? I just hope everyone's OK. Check out the story here.
