of course now that I'm almost 60, the senior discounts would be useful, and that is the story of my life.....too late to the party...
Well, I got news for you. The disabled parking passes aren't given out 'like candy' to elderly folks.
Many of the 'folk' I see USING the handicap spot are neither disabled, nor elderly. Some of them actually have GRANDMA'S parking pass, however none of them ever let grandma in their car.
Disability hangers for cars happen because the person's doctor filled out the application that the patient needed a card.
I have a card because my knees are now bone on bone. I can walk short distances but I can't walk a long distance to get to a store, then walk the store. My right knee was operated on several years ago because the pain was so bad I couldn't walk, period.
Right now, my right knee is bad. I will park close due to the card, but still limp through the store.
There may come a time when you need a card and your opinion will change and you will get a card approved by your doctor.
