Nataly 38 #2 November 10, 2009 I use the handicap loos I reckon they can hold it in just like anyone else, and if they can't they probably don't need the loo anyway 'cause they've got a portable little bag or something..

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #4 November 10, 2009 You'd be surprised how many people "look" okay but are truly physically handicapped. Just because you can't see it... doesn't mean it isn't there. And not everyone who is handicapped *can* hold it in like every one else. Does anyone here know anything about Multiple Sclerosis? Always be kinder than you feel.

Hi J Karen has had her plates for 4-5 yr's. Dr fills out the form, you pay a few extra $ and the plates are done deal. I think you can also qualify for a placard in case you own more than one car or don't want to spend the $$$plates. I don't doubt that V could qualify and benifit from useing the handicaped plates based on her Lupus. It may not even require a Dr's visit to get the required paperwork. Group health may just send V one in the mail if V or her HUSBAND calls and asks for oneStart now and you 've got V her first Xmas presentPersonally I don't use the handicaped spots when I'm the only one in the car. A lot of the time Karen doesn't use the handicap spots if she's having a good day. Xmas you might be SOL due to supply vs demand. OTOH the parking meter's in seattle. 1-2 times a yrOne Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WAL-FUCKING-MART!!!! Maybe their passenger was the handicapped person. Not in this (or any other that I'm aware of) state! If I parked my truck in a handicapped parking space, opened the back & pulled my brother's wheelchair out, went to the passenger door & waited for him to get out, even if he put his handicapped placard in the windshield, I'd be liable for a ticket. Why? Because it's not his car, it doesn't have handicapped plates & his placard is tied to HIS cars, not mine. Reverse the situation: If I borrowed my brother's car & parked it in a handicapped space I'd be liable for a ticket the same as parking my own vehicle there. FYI: In NJ if you see someone driving with a handicapped placard hanging from their rear view mirror, they are liable for a ticket (obstructing the view or something like that).When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #19 November 11, 2009 QuoteFYI: In NJ if you see someone driving with a handicapped placard hanging from their rear view mirror, they are liable for a ticket (obstructing the view or something like that). Absolutely. Obstruction of View is a Title 39 Motor Vehicle violation and I wholeheartedly agree with that statute. I hate seeing the blue placards hanging in a winshield while the vehicle is in motion. Regarding the placard tied to vehicle..... In NJ, you can get the blue handicapped parking permit placard that is tied to the PERSON, not the vehicle. You get a little card that is a "disabled person" card that you must present to law enforcement if asked. So, the disabled person can go into any vehicle they want, and that vehicle can have the placard displayed... no worries. It's the regular handicapped license plates that are so restrictive.... obviously tied to the registration of a particular vehicle.Always be kinder than you feel.

Andy9o8 2 #20 November 11, 2009 Quote FYI: In NJ if you see someone driving with a handicapped placard hanging from their rear view mirror, they are liable for a ticket (obstructing the view or something like that). It's that way in several states, including Florida. Like Palm beach County, where it seems every 3rd car has one. The cops there definitely do stop cars with placards hanging from the rear view. (In fact, in PB County, it seems you never see an unoccupied handicapped space at the strip malls, since it's the majority of the population that uses them. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
