To me, it seems like “enforcement of handicapped spaces”, is probably mostly a waste of time, besides which, how can most of us be 100% sure whether someone is or is not handicapped?
I understand that designated tags or license plates are generally required, but sometimes people park there, who just had surgery or using a cane, but not “officially” handicapped.
JMHO is that for the most part, it is best to be thankful that we don’t need handicapped spaces, instead of assuming someone else should not be using them.
Very true. That’s dicey business deciding who should get them and who shouldn’t. And more than a few parking space nazis are only exceeded in their angry zeal by bicycle riders.
At least in my state, you can get a temporary handicapped permit in a day. If someone is living alone and newly disabled, I can understand that it may be difficult logistically to get the permt.. But these two thugs had each other. If one thug had become handicapped, the other thug could have gotten the permit before the disabled thug left the hospital.
To your second point if you’ve had surgery and are using a cane your doc gives you paper work to get you card
