KD in CA Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Yet another excellent use of taxpayer money. Great job liberals!
DC Tom Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Phew. I'm glad that problem's finally taken care of.
Keukasmallies Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 So could we make some parking places labelled with the "new" handicapped symbol for those "active" folks who have a "kinda" disability, but use the old symbol for spaces reserved for those who suffer a more debilitating handicap? In any event, let's just issue a lot more rear view mirror hangers so many more people can ignore the words on the placard stating, REMOVE FROM REAR VIEW MIRROR WHEN DRIVING. Nothinng hammers home one's disability than obscuring the driver's vision even more with a swinging handicapped placard.
Nanker Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 lol. I've got one of those because of knee surgery. You're right, it states that in large lettering. It's generally pretty useless though... especially at the hospital's PT center's parking lot. I usually have to park about 200 yards away - because every spot is taken, not just the handicapped spots. It's worse at Wegmans. They have two spots up front in three isles. They're always taken - sometimes by Airborne licensed SUVs.
Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I don't care what symbol they use but can we make them pay to park like everyone else. Just because you have a physical disability does not mean you're destitute.

Or, if these people are active despite their kinda disability, we can conclude they don't need any special parking spaces at all.
