Don't be so quick to judge whether a driver is truly handicapped, and eligible for handicapped plates or a placard, just by looking at them. There are people who appear healthy, but with heart or lung issues that are serious enough to justify the handicapped designation. They may be able to walk in a normal manner for a short distance before needing to stop or rest, and without the handicapped parking spaces would be challenged. Its not always an obvious handicap.

I have no qualms when a person has a handicapped permit yet doesn't show any overt symptoms. As mentioned some infirmities aren't readily apparent. But what really trips my trigger are folks who have no permit using the spaces. I have been known to stop behind a vehicle in a parking lot and wait for the cops to come and write a ticket. And they are big ones here.

The world has been mad ever since Cain slew Abel with the first assault rock! Or was it when Eve enticed Adam to having Cain and Abel???

My wife has a permanent handicap license plate on her vehicle. She intermittently uses an oxygen concentrator for her breathing problems. When she was an ICU RN she caught something from a patient that almost killed her and left her with permanent lung injuries. If she feels good she will use a regular parking spot instead of a handicap spot. She also uses a handicap spot when she takes her 93 year old dad to his medical appointments.
