Robert, I think I have just the solution for you. Motorcycle shops sell an extremely loud air horn that's about the size of a big man's closed fist. If you're interested, I'll call the local shop and get you the make and model. They cost about $50. I put one on my Suzuki and it's *very* loud and very effective.
Regards, Robert
How about putting an O-ring under each button? Increase the pressure necessary to activate the circuit.
It's an old-school trick learned back in the days of the Reset key being on the Apple ][ keyboard. Putting a stiffer spring or an O-ring under the key made it more difficult to press it accidentally (easy given it's proximity to the backspace key).
Conversely my wife's cell phone has buttons on the outside lid (an LG VX8350) for multimedia "features". The keypad underneath had little stubs to press the switches. I snipped off a majority of the stubs and made the buttons much harder to operate. Stupid feature that got on her nerves anyway.
As far as cops and calls for handicapped parking, take it up with your local representatives. That and the local TV stations and paper. They're always looking for community issue material.

For me it's usually two calls. One to the cops and one to the press. At least, I always suggest on my first call that I'll make the second. I've had wonderful luck with the media supporting me when we've had problems. I also do better when I get the managers of stores, hotels and restaurants to call the cops. A local business complaining about a disruption frequently gets further than an individual with a complaint. If nothing else, it lets the cops know that there are multiple people involved and that makes it more significant to them.
Thankfully, that hasn't happened to me yet.
I do that all the time. I also have the luxury of being able to drop off my wife and then park since I'm not the one in the chair. This gets us around the people parking us in most of the time too since I can move the van. But we're hoping that she'll start driving soon. She's in a driver training program now and we're experimenting with equipment. We treat it like it's her driving all the time in order to work out all of this stuff for when she's alone.
link? I can't find it. I've put reflective tape all over the chair. Flashers might come in handy some time. She just got a new chair and I haven't taped up the new one.
It doesn't take a lot of searching to find people complaining about EZ Lock, so why isn't there something better out there yet? The Permalock doesn't seem like the ideal solution either (even if you have a Permobil chair) from what I've read. I'm not suggesting it's an easy problem to solve. And I don't have a solution. It's just frustrating.
One thing we've talked about is putting the EZ lock on the old chair. Then she can use the better chair most of the time and only worry about the old one when she needs to drive. She'd do the transfer in the house where it would be much easier.
