Bristol Tennessee Police warn anyone who plans to "borrow" any state parking permit issued to someone with special parking needs, such use could result in loss of the permit, a fine of up to $2,500 and up to 11 months and 29 days in the county jail.
Police will be at Bristol Motor Speedway's South Entrance and Dragway Entrance during the upcoming Food City 500 race weekend (March 26-28) to monitor state-issued handicap parking permits and to enforce the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) 55-21-106.
People using these permits should display the permit clearly, AND be prepared to show supporting paperwork identifying the person to whom the permit is issued, AND must provide a photo ID of the person to whom the permit is issued. If the permitted person is not in the car, Bristol Police plan to prosecute the offender and confiscate the permit. Obviously, the car will not be allowed to park in the Speedway's handicap-accessible lots.
