NO, they are not. If someone is faking it (more likely using their relatives placard) we can’t help that, but far more handicapped people are using them than otherwise. Sometimes I get out of my car and don’t need my cane that day. I walk into the store seemingly just fine.....does that mean that the system is broken? NO. Not everyone’s handicap is on exhibit for your viewing pleasure.

So I'm not allowed to use my eyes to see, and my brain to think? I'm not allowed to connect the dots, be analytical, and generalize?

What kind of handicaps are both (a) deserving of a special parking place, (b) not so severe as to prevent a person from safely operating a motor vehicle, and (c) invisible? Tell about them.

Mental handicaps, maybe?

Then you don't need the handicap spot, either. Be decent and take a regular spot.

I have degenerative disc disease and have trouble walking any distance. I get out and walk into the store just fine. It’s when I come out that my leg is dragging and I am hurting from walking around the store. I refuse to use their electric carts.
