I agree with you Jim. This is a major political issue that will not go away soon. When it does, you can then expect the clouds to part, the sun to shine and hear voices from the heavens. Until that time, it behooves anyone who has a recognizable or certified impairment to complain to anyone who will listen about parking violations and encourage the police to issue citations and tickets for its violation.

It really turns my crank to see somebody drop of a handicapped person in the front of a building at the mall and then go park in a van accessible parking spot with a little car. Obviously, it also turns my crank when I see somebody park in a handicapped spot and get out of the vehicle and run into the store because they are able-bodied. I have confronted a few of these people and for the most part they know they are wrong but they did very angry and smart mouthed to the point where one called me a F***ing moron. Since, more handicapped/disabled people are able to drive because of the technology, I think that the ADA should specify that all handicapped parking is van accessible. I have seen handicapped spot's that are not as wide as my van. >>
