Re: [QUAD-L] NJ Handicap parking

I think you should use disabled parking.  In my opinion, able bodied people need to see that there are ACTUAL disabled people that use those spots.  They need to see that people in chairs do drive.  Eric Brien wrote: Consider my perspective. I have a power chair and a van with a lift.  Since  I can  practically do 10mph, I could care less what spaces are available.  Disabled parking spots are truly for people who have much difficulty getting from the car to the building.  I am a quad and am very proud not to use disabled parking spaces because I don't need them.  I am sure everybody has an opinion on disabled spaces but pregnant women, for the most part, have acceptable mobility and dont need em. I picture somebody who can barely with a walker/cane walk as eligible for disabled spaces! What do folks think?

I am trying to find out what idiot proposed this idea so I may write a letter. Has anyone heard of this?   <IMSTP.gif>
