We have also noticed that some restaurants, theaters, etc., make us travel a lot more from the handicap parking to the front doors. I think you have to be where you need the parking before you realize how important it is.

I use an accessible van and need to get out using the ramp on the passenger side. 3 times this month someone was parked on the stripes adjacent to the parking spot. One time I called the police and he didn't even know how to write a ticket and for what amount ( this is in New York). Ended up they got a tkt for $250. Once was at the library and we found the person. This week in the rain I was at the mall. I had to ask a stranger to pull my car out so I could get into my car. I didn't have time to wait for the police and security at the mall is never there when you need them. In Florida where I go for the winter there is always someone in the handicapped spot at the tennis complex and then they go to play tennis. I used to be a tennis player and am always at the courts watching or helping the captain on my former team and I dont have a spot to park in. Cant do anything about it because there is a placard. Usually I leave a note to say if you are playing tennis then you shouldn't be in this spot. I feel like the parking spot commando. Such is life, Rosalie In a message dated 10/8/2010 4:59:35 P.M.

At one time,you had to sign a paper that you were still disabled and return it to the DMV,and a few weeks later you got the placard. Now they're just mailed,without knowing if you are even alive.
