And you produced this "fact" based on what?

Oh I don't know, how about the "Fact" that the icon on the handicapped space IS A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR!
Or how about the "fact" that handicapped spaces first appeared next to a "cut out" in the curb!
Or the "fact" that the original handicapped spaces were half again as wide as non-handicapped spaces! So that people would have the extra room to get in and out of their wheelchairs!
Or how about that old public service commercial where the disabled vet is struggling, trying to maneuver in and out of his wheelchair while having to park in a normal space, because some lazy bimbo who didn't want to walk a few extra feet parked in the handicapped space.

Do I really need to go on?

The symbol of the person in a wheelchair is a universally acceptable ‘sign’ of an impaired person. It doesn’t mean it is totally inclusive of what type of disabilities can or should utiilize the parking places.
Thank God you are a healthy person and celebrate your day with that knowledge.

No you've already shown me that you are just pulling this stuff out of your @$$ and this is strictly your opinion and nothing else. You have absolutely no reference as to legislative intent.

Yep, you need to go right on down the road with this line of thought. According to you the only handicapped people that are legitimate are those in a chair. In other words if you not in a chair you are not handicapped. The law doesn’t say this and never has. You make these statements as if you are some kind of expert. My doc filled out the paperwork for my plates and placard and he has the degree on the wall that allows him to make that decision. He has my medical records full of facts that support his decision. What do you have to back up your runaway mouth?
When I find a car in a HC spot without a proper plate or placard I call the cops and insist that they come out and give them a ticket. When these people are getting the ticket and realize how much it is going to cost them I hear this same kind of crap from them.
I won't even justify your ignorance by telling you why I'm allowed to park in those spaces. It is none of your affair no matter how almighty important you think you are.
