Amen to that---- people in large crowds are like cattle and use little respect or common sense--- this includes parking, driving and shopping ! If you can change 1 or 2 people's minds about using the handicapped spots----there will be a million more to replace them. Like i tell my wife about her screaming and carrying on about rude drivers cutting us off or running stop signs and so on--- I say just calm down, there are millions more just like them----and you can't change them, they are like a mob of crazy cattle lol. And on some trips to the store, it happens several times on 1 trip even ! shopping in crowds is even worse. I think in this day and age of over population--we are just gonna have to live with some things. Dan H.

I look at it like my need to do guerrilla parking to accommodate my ramp is just another challenge in the minute-to-minute, day-to-day adventure that is being a quad. Eeeha! Right now outside Boston we have heaps of snow. Guess where piles go in parking lots? They use the spaces that are empty when they plow, which are most often the HC spots. And even the clear sidewalks in downtown can be challenged with piles at the corners. Last week I bumped up onto the sidewalk from the street and after a startled look, mouth wide open, a woman shreiked at me "You are brave!" ...and that was one of the easier corners. The Good News is that when my (power) wheels are spinning and I need a push and a shove, anybody nearby is quick to respond.

Major rehab hospitals in our area and have 100's of parking spots dedicated to both cars and vans. And yes, they are always full of vehicles that park in those areas with the proper documentation. Asking for more parking places would be nice, but what is more important are those who don't use those same parking spots properly or with disregard for others. Choose your battles wisely.....

This happens regularly to me on weekends at the local cineplex (in a Boston MA suburb), even though there are about twenty HC spots. No easy solution, I'm sure. Seems to me though, that the number of HC spaces should be related to the number of HC placards issued. And maybe also the places HC'ers frequent (like movie theatres) should be required to have more. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
