Who can use Disabled Parking spaces?

Postby pidge » Tue May 30, 2006 12:40 pm

OK, lets see what everyone thinks about who can use a disabled parking space.

Is this a black and white problem, or a slippery slope of shades of grey?

should truly disabled people even be driving cars?

And if the disabled person is the passenger im sure they'd enjoy a nice wheel across the parking lot as much as i'd enjoy the walk :D

because if they did we would all park there for 5 - 10 mins.'

human nature- to push the boundarys.

get over this $&#$% disabled parking thing man, if the area isnt busy and ur only going to be a few minutes its sweet, if you get caught, well you deserved it.

I am saying people who pop in for a few minutes ONLY because if i have been desperate to get something done and couldnt find a park.

On the other hand, it isnt cool to disadvantage the disabled just because we are too lazy to find a park further away. Especially if there are other parks a little further and we just dont feel compelled to drive another 20 metres or so.

But as i said, i have been guilty once or twice, despite it only being for literally a minute or two. I cant judge based on that, i am naughty. :oops:
If I wanted your opinion, I would have given it to you!
