seriously this is a good thing. In FL the disabled permit goes with the person not the vehicle. Thus if you have an elderly or special needs person in the car you can use the permit. This is handy for mothers with children in wheelchairs.
Now if you use the tag without the designated person actually with you, then it is a $250.00 parking ticket. No court, just administrative review and they have zip authority for mercy. (iow: if you had to go to the bathroom, tough luck. You should have parke anywhere else.)

A couple of years back, I had surgery on my feet. I could not walk without severe pain. I also could not get the a$$ of a doctor to give me a handicrapped permit. His argument was these privileges were for people who would be handicapped more than 6 weeks, or some such foolishness. Within that 6 weeks, I was as unable to walk for long distances as any other person with a medical problem, if not more so. And, I know people with these permits who have no problem gallavanting all over creation, but they lose that ability as soon as they get into the smallest parking lot. I finally got a permit from my chiropractor, who is a human and has a heart.
