I am legally handicapped due to 2 total hip replacements and have a handicap plate on my car. Two years ago I dislocated one of my artifical hips and was on crutches for quite awhile, then a cane, due to the pain surrounding the muscles on my hip. I teach at a community college and my class started at 9:30 a.m. I would have to get to the college by 7:30 a.m. in order to get a handicap spot. It (...) View more

Ok, I understand your point, and I agree that there are people who abuse it, BUT and this is a very big BUT, I have three vehicles, all bought and paid off before I was diagnosed with a crippling disease. I CAN NOT afford to buy different vehicles because people are judging me for driving a small vehicle that I have a very hard time getting in and out of. They are paid off, and I am NOW (...)

People receive placards for all types of reasons but they can only receive them with the help of a physician. Many people who don't need the placard convince their doctors that they'll find someone else for their health care if the doctor doesn't help them get the placard. The cowardly doctor doesn't want to lose the income so he breaks his already bent morality and succumbs. (...) View more

I want to the gym yesterday, and just as I was entering, a guy drives up in a huge pickup, swings out, goes in the gym and does 30 minutes on the stair climber. I inquired at the front desk about this, and found out this man is a city official. Tell me there's not fraud! I feel badly for those truly disabled, but there are many who are just gaming the system, and aren't any less (...) View more

Wow, I really understand why you call it the "Abuse Board" since you're heaping so much abuse on people who "don't look handicapped." What does that look like, by the way? Maybe just like you?

Just a quick comment. I was always getting the honking cars the fierce stares and even the cursing out when I would park in the handicapped spots. After all I was driving my company truck, I appeared to have no visible handicap. And I didn't. However, my wife did. My wife was suffering from matasisizing breast cancer and had gone from a vibrant woman of 51, 150 lbs to a skeletal 65 pounds. I (...) View more

My handicap arose from being hit by a car while bicycle riding. My pelvis was shattered and then I needed my left hip replaced. When I am walking with no problem, I often leave the handicapped spot for someone who needs it more than I.

When I see an obvious violation of h/c parking, I often ask if the person is handicapped. When I receive a negative answer I then ask "How would you (...) View more

Although I agree that this is a great initiative, please do not forget that there are people who you cannot visibly tell if they have a certain handicap. I have a legal handicap pass, and it is so far one of the temporary ones, but may need to be renewed. Although you can visibly see that I can walk, I have a disease in my lungs which causes me to have a hard time breathing, this includes (...) View more

It would be very helpful in reporting fraud and prevent abuse if the permits had the person's photo in plain sight.
This could be a great initiative for a carring law maker.
