I personally never really had any experience with that issue until my brother broke his neck and became a quadripeligic. Things like parking spaces were the first to stand out. There are more lazy fat ass-ed people parking in those spaces than there are handicapped people. If I had my way with that issue I would have the cars towed and held in impound for one year, with daily storage fees that had to be paid each month or you go to jail. In addition to the fines that would be several thousand dollars. Second offenses would be jail. The damn doctors that give those tags out like free government cheese should be held accountable as well.

I agree with you Steve. When I had my surgery, I was on crutches for 2 months and I could have gotten a temporary placard, but i did not. I figured I was physically able to walk on crutches from the parking lot, so I would leave the spaces for others who couldn't. I cussed out a few fat lazy people who parked there with their placards. I even had 1 elderly man in a power wheel chair come up to me to thank me. The woman had cut him off to get that space. Her only handicap was she had 2 hands and only 1 mouth to shovel food into.
