My wife is deaf, and blind in one eye. She works late hours at a store. In our state, she is eligible for a handicapped placard for those times. Why? Because it enables her to park her car in a well-lighted section of the parking lot, near the front of the store. When she leaves work at 11:00pm, she is unable to hear a mugger sneaking up on her; being blind in one eye, neither is she able to easily see one approaching.
I guess some Freepers think she shouldn’t qualify for a handicapped placard. At the end of her 8-hour shift, she should just always go around and hope to find a co-worker to escort her, right? Every night?

With all due respect and curiosity, I'm not sure she should have a drivers license.
How does she manage to drive on one eye and no hearing...in the dark?
