I believe doctors should be more discriminate in who they endorse placards for. Someone should be mobility impaired, period, to have one of these. That means it is difficult/painful/impossible for them to walk a further than necessary distance. People in wheelchairs or scooters can be in the back since they don't walk and usually need extra room for mobility devices. It burns me up when I see an able bodied person hop into a huge truck parked in a handicapped space.
I have been cussed, threatened etc for taking videos of people abusing handicapped parking here in San Antonio. My wife is handicapped, thats what made me notice this so much. I have only gone out about 5 / 6 times from Dec. to Feb and have about 30 videos of the dirtbags posted or scheduled for my website unfrackinbelievable com. The new $500 fine may help, but I doubt it...Jim
this is a serious problem it would seem all over the world and needs to be tackled because it not only makes like very hard for disabled people but because the system is abused so much people do not take the bays seriously . its down to disabled drivers fighting back to regain what is ours and also stop letting friends and relitives use there badge which is why most of this starts in the first place.
Part 2. I got out of the car and knocked on her door, telling her that she couldn't park there (she was straddling both spots). She told me that she was waiting for someone and wasn't going to move. I then told her that she was blocking Michelle's exit from the car and she said she'd only move if Michelle needed to get out. I told her she was breaking the law and I'd get a hold of security. Needless to say, she moved pretty quickly out of there!!!!
My sister Michelle and I were in one of two disabled spots at the mall on Saturday, and another lady was legitimately parked in the other spot. Suddenly another lady in a van pulled up between our cars. At first we gave her the benefit of the doubt, assuming that she was disabled and thinking there were three spots so we waited and watched, but she just sat there, not moving ... continued in second part ...
Why are there handicaped spaces at the mall? If they can travel through the mall, they can walk like everyone else. Stupid. I'm not saying we should treat them poorly, I'm saying we should treat them as equals.
Disabled parking spots are wider than regular spots, giving people with disabilities more room to get in and out of their cars. If you were to suddenly become disabled and need to use a wheelchair, for example, you'd soon quickly learn just how valuable these spots are.
Well said, people who do not have disabilities or do not know anyone with one have no idea what it is like!! I am a wheelchair user and I rely on disabled parking to get out of the car.
Dumb ass, I need room to get out of my car. I can't fit my wheel chair and move between two cars in standard parking spots. Put the spots up front or in the back I don't care, just give me some extra room to move around.
The real problem are the fat ass overweight people with tags.
@GoochRA That's the exact problem I have. I need to open my door wide enough so I can be able to put the wheels on. I once went to my local H-E-B and pulled up next to this woman who was in the handicap space, but no sticker. I said "ma'am do you have a placard?" and she said "Yes, I'm justing waiting for my husband to come out.". Well if you do then you need to hang it up, you stupid old bat. Too bad I couldn't find security around.
@GoochRA Yeah, I've had to back my car into a disabled space so that my wife's 86-year-old grandma with neuropathy can get into her wheelchair because there's not room between mine and the car next to us if I drive in forward.
@GoochRA I completely agree with grossly overweight people taking up handicap spots. I myself need extra room to get in and out to unlock a leg brace I wear. Sometimes this is possible in a normal space, but not if there is a large van, truck, SUV or someone is parked crooked.
They are NOT to be looked down on, simply because they have a disability. Many people with disabilities lead very full and productive lives. And by the way, everyone has a disability of some kind. Think about that.
@dotmacis I like what you have said, I have a disability (epilepsy) which I don't need parking for, but I live with this disability and still make over 70k a year and have extra "problems" to deal with which has really benefited me with learning to deal with stressful situations. I also volunteer time to help mentally handicapped children and contribute to my community. Any person who wants to make a negative comment about a disability is just naive and immature.
People with disabilities are people just like you and me. By the way, you're disabled too. Every person has a disability of some kind. Perhaps you should spend some time in a wheelchair before you make any more judgmental comments. I just pray that you won't someday be the victim of a serious car accident and discover for yourself just what life is like for a person with a disability. If you did, it'd be a real eye-opener for you.
