I do that all the time as my gf is coming out the doors of the mall and only once i had to move as i seen a fire truck coming. But if you parked your car there and went into the store, then you got what you deserved.

Completely misses the point. The reason the car was towed makes zero difference. The tow truck driver can't be negligent in his job.

Besides, your whole post is about pot calling kettle black. You just stated that you park in fire lanes too....in fact, you park there "all the time". It's a fire lane for a reason, you know, and there's a parking lot for a reason.

yes it is wrong to stop there at all...ill agree. But i can see a difference between sitting in the car with the engine running and getting out and going into a store.

For an actual fire lane, i have never had anyone come out and tell me to move or say im towing your car. Why? because im in the car with the engine running. Like i said, there was only one time i seen a fire truck coming down the road so i moved.

If someone parks there, gets out and walks away and a fire truck comes...then thats obstructing the truck from coming in and deserves to be towed.

Also im pretty sure most signs say "cars will be towed at owners expense" sometimes tow truck drivers cant lift a car without damaging it...so its at owners expense.
