I saw on Good morning America where a woman of a disabled child takes pictures of those who illegally park in the marked spaces and files complaints with the police dept. She also shows up for all of the court dates and has helped find most of them guilty. This was in New Jersey I think and has even taken a few football players to court.

Granted public isn't always "right" on time. It isn't "right" on time for anyone, handicapped or not. At present I'm fighting to get cell phones to drivers so people get an accurate ETA. Drivers want it but the company doesn't and hasn't given a valid reason against it yet. I've confronted people that were parking in handicapped spots and while there is nothing wrong with them, they have a doctors permit. If doctors hand out pain meds and diet pills, bet he hands out those little blue parking permits like loly pops. Maybe some of you can get communities to enforce the parking laws in parking lots that are not publicly owned. Push it as a source of revenue.

I get whomever is driving my van to do the same. "Park out towards the end." It's easier... IMHO, a power wheelchair doesn't have problems traveling the distances. So, let the ones less fortunate use the handicap spots. Again, I just responded that I like the persons post...for many it's so true. Have a great day, Keith/35/C4-5/NJ Amy writes: It is actually easier for me to park my boyfriends van at the lower end of the parking lot. he is on a vent and it gives us a little more privacy to suction or empty caths if needed. Plus I park sideways in 2 spots so that we are not blocked in. Looks like I cant drive but no one can get near the door that way to block it.
