We have the same type placards here in KY and they are supposed to be removed from the RV mirror when moving- however, most are kept in place while driving. So the comment a few posts above is very applicable.We have cards that hang from the mirror when parked, and removed while driving. Nothing on the license plate or anything. So you would never know a car was being driven by a handicapped person unless they were parked.
Some people have a temporary situation. Maybe they can’t afford to buy another new car? Let’s say he breaks tib/fib non weight bearing cast. With crutches, a walker behind the seat you can get from close.Works for me.

If this virus continues to kill people with two or more morbidities, there will soon be a surplus of electric carts.Ever notice all the hugely overweight using electric carts in Walmart? That's self inflicted in 98% of the cases. The cart only makes things worse.

Really not seeing the problem here?I'm not here to hate on you. I get that you have special needs and challenges. But y'all gotta do better than this. Empty parking lot, but missed the space by more than five feet. I see this all the time. Don't worry, I'm not going to shoot anyone like the chumps in Florida. I just don't get it

Don, I have a war vet friend who is a leg amputee. He tells me stories of people like you hating on him as he gets out of his sports car in a handicapped space.I'm referring to for example people getting out of new Corvettes and marching off like anyone else. You can't do that with a physical handicap.
Of course I support help for the truly handicapped, I despise frauds and there are plenty of those. Don
Or you could not feed into it by showing your obvious disdain for people you falsely believe you are superior to.....or you could not waste your time dwelling on petty things that bother you to take the time to snap a photo so you can create a little outrage topic about it to random people on the internet.
So a person with a handicap can’t have a nice car? Or since it’s a temp handicap placard , the handicap person couldn’t be the passenger?Works for me.

one of my nephews had Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy. My Brother in law had a van with a lift. they didn't take him out all the time but when they did it was always a problem parking. a couple times people would park in the striped area after they were already away from the van. only once did he get angry enough to call the police, the owner was in a restaurant and wouldn't leave his table until he was informed the police were coming and he would be towed. guy was a total D!c#...![]()
For those with a visual learning style. Why the striped spaces exist.
Talk about visual learning, please go back and take another look, notice there is no striped space on the passenger side, in the OP photo. Maybe that's why the car is parked a bit to the side.![]()

Yes sir, Mr Handicapped Parking Police, sir.he parked in the striped area of the other spot. striped is not a parking spot anytime.
The temporary placards are red and have an expiration date written on them.Some people have a temporary situation. Maybe they can’t afford to buy another new car? Let’s say he breaks tib/fib non weight bearing cast. With crutches, a walker behind the seat you can get from close.
Those ARE the exceptions. At the gym we used to go to, there was a sandbox war vet who had a below the knee amputation and prosthetic. Watched him run outside behind the gym.Don, I have a war vet friend who is a leg amputee. He tells me stories of people like you hating on him as he gets out of his sports car in a handicapped space.
He’s too much of a gentlemen to pull up his pants leg and show them his prosthetic.
But just consider that stink eye you’ve been giving might just be directed at someone who sacrificed for their country.
