Parking is my biggest gripe. I use an accessible van and need to get out
using the ramp on the passenger side. 3 times this month someone was
parked on the stripes adjacent to the parking spot. One time I called the
police and he didn't even know how to write a ticket and for what amount (
this is in New York). Ended up they got a tkt for $250. Once was at the
library and we found the person. This week in the rain I was at the mall. I
had to ask a stranger to pull my car out so I could get into my car. I
didn't have time to wait for the police and security at the mall is never
there
when you need them.
In Florida where I go for the winter there is always someone in the
handicapped spot at the tennis complex and then they go to play tennis. I
used to be a tennis player and am always at the courts watching or helping
the captain on my former team and I dont have a spot to park in. Cant do
anything about it because there is a placard. Usually I leave a note to say
if you are playing tennis then you shouldn't be in this spot. I feel
like the parking spot commando.
Such is life, Rosalie

Hi,
I got my new placard in the mail today. They are reissued every 5 yrs.
At one time,you had to sign a paper that you were still disabled and return
it to the DMV,and a few weeks later you got the placard. Now they're just
mailed,without knowing if you are even alive.
