The greatest danger is travelling across the parking lot. It's very
difficult for drivers to see a moving wheelchair.

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!
I too have a power chair and a van w/a lift. My main concern & only
really,
is that when I return to it, I can get IN IT! I park away from all & take
2
slots so I'll have plenty of room. My Mom is on oxygen and she and others
like
her NEED those slots!
