I know I am going to piss a lot of people off but it is just my thought on misuse of handicap placards. I personally wouldn’t encourage someone who could and should be walking to better their situation (health and mobility) to exploit/abuse the original purpose of handicap placards. I know they are issued to many who have or claim medical limitations that may not be visible to me but I am amazed how most who use them seem quite ambulatory when they are exiting their cars. Seems like most who use them could use a few extra steps in their life’s. I feel the same way about the abuse of bringing any animal in a restaurant or grocery store that isn’t a guide dog or a dog for military PTSD or a dog in training for these tasks. Seriously, I believe these accommodations are very important for those with special needs; the operative word is NEEDS.
