A lot of people use placards that don’t belong to them. I worked with a person who was handicapped and she had a parking place right by the door.

I began to notice students and others parking in the spot and bounding down the street. One person was a football player, another was going to the gym. I would take the license plate number and the permit number and check with the registry to see if they matched. Out of ten that I checked not one of them matched. Mostly it was a permit of a dead grandparent or a mother who had bunion surgery and never returned the permit.

if you see someone abuse the handicapped parking laws, you shouuld report them to the police, or at least the DMV.

You’d be doing a favor for those of us who need the spaces.

In California, a handicapped placard issued by s physician upon verification that the person is impaired. The placard is issued with a form identifying the driver. This form or a copy there of must be in the vehicle. The form must be presented to a leo upon request. Current copies of the form can be in multiple vehicles.

The placard and form must be in the vehicle that the handicapped person is riding in or driving.The placard identifies ( with the form) the handicapped person not the vehicle.
