>> However there is wide spread abuse of the handicapped tag program.<<

I know I am arguing the other side of my prior post, but you have something there. California is cracking down on the handicapped placard program and the number of abuses has been astonishing.

I also forgot to mention to the OP that the rest of his/her rant is pretty right on. Especially about the kids running around unsupervised in public spaces.

What drives me nuts is the amount of handicap parking spaces required by the ordinances.

California is cracking down on the handicapped placard program and the number of abuses has been astonishing.

Texas jacked the fines for violations up to $500.00 and the number of tickets in Austin actually went up.

Handicap spaces cost drivers $500 fine
