The symbol is of someone in a wheelchair, if you don’t need one you shouldn’t be parking there.

Excuse me..but my father suffered from polio at the young age of 3, and has a limp and other problems from that. He has not let himself be put in a wheelchair..he does EVERYTHING he can to remain walking..but he does park in handicap spots, because distance is tough for him. Watch what you say before you lump everyone into one category..not fair.

“Watch what you say before you lump everyone into one category..not fair.”

I try to remember that for some of the folks that use the handicap parking spots. “Oh - he probably has a heart condition.” “Maybe he has shrapnel that if he walks to much it will dislodge and travel up his artery”. “Maybe he just had a hip replacement”.

I really do think those things to keep my temper down when I see some younger guy or gal hop out of their fancy sports car and walk into the store with no visible sign of discomfort or difficulty.
