Dear Kevin.
I empathize!
In an attempt to economize, I gave up paying auto insurance as i
haven't driven my car since November 2005. I am living in another
city away from home, hoping to get my home made wheelchair
accessible. My friends removed my license plates - a reqquirement
when you cancel auto insurance.
The next week they called and said that the police had put a warning
on my car. My car is in my driveway. My driveway is part of my yard,
off the street.....
I had to BEG the police for time to find a solution. My carport was
not considered sufficient for an unplated car. So long story short, I
have had to reinsure the car I can't drive, since i couldn't find
anyplace to "hide" it.
Telling them that I am a paraplegic in a wheelchair only yeilded
another week's grace. I called my alderman to assist --- his advice
was call the police again. My frineds had also visited the police
in this town of 10,000, but they wouldn't promise to extend the time.
Two weeks later, i got a clipping from the local newspaper saying
the alderman was cited in court for not obeying this ordinance---
that all visible cars must have plates.
This is just another of the 1,000 cuts, losses and disappointments
sufffered since gettting TM.
I rail at the endless negotiating, begging, pleading,
wheedling,documentation--- the loss not only of freedom of movement
but the burden of having to explain and negotiate when i used to get
up and go.
I am so grateful for the good grace of friends there to intervene and
assist,but I so wish I didn't need it.
Light and healing,
Akua
