Those damned inconsiderate economy car drivers
In Walnut Creek, a wealthy suburb on the other side of the hills in the East Bay, you can be ticketed if your car isn’t big enough.
When he came out of a Contra Costa County Mayors’ Conference meeting in Walnut Creek awhile back, Martinez City Councilman Bill Wainwright was surprised to see a ticket on his windshield.
He was even more surprised when he saw what it was for.
Wainwright had been tagged for having too small a car.
Seriously. The city parking lot where he had found a spot has two rows of slots reserved for vehicles 6-foot-5 inches or taller, according to a sign posted in the garage. Wainwright, with his Acura, was too short to park there.
