Disability Plates - Texas only allows 1 plate per Operator! Is the Law the same in your State? What's Your Opinion?

Saw a blond park in a handicap spot.
She gets out and seemed healthy to us.
When it was pointed out to her that she was parked in a handicap spot, we got a one fingered salute.
Then one of the smartasses (who might have me) says. Sorry, I didn't realize you are handicapped, you must be a natural Blond.

Good reason to keep a valve stem core removal tool handy. Not that I've ever used one before, but I'm just say'n... LOL

I didn't do anything dang thing with the Spyder today.
I've got the flu, and I can't remember ever feeling this rough before. My poor wife has had it for 2 weeks. I was really concerned about her. Poor thing had it worse than me I think.
Severe headache, severe body aches, sick to my stomach and no appetite, coughing, chests on fire, my whole head and my jaws ache something fierce. We're both 67 so I'm a bit concerned about that plus I've only got one lung from a military mishap that almost boxed me. In fact they flew my wife to the country of Panama to say goodbye to me. Intensive care for 60 days. So I have to keep that in mind.
We both have had covid twice so far. Not sure what this crud is but it ain't right.
Cheers! All

I've had the sneer before when I park my jeep in the handicap spot with my disabled Veteran plate. Screw em! If they only knew the level of injuries and pain I'm normally in. 100% DAV and Damn proud of it. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. When you're still awake and you watch the Army Surgeon cut your chest open and stick his gloved hand in your chest cavity, you just don't get over it easily. Oh well.

Well Said!

Besides, people should realise that not all 'disabilities' are obvious &/or outwardly visible, nor, as you rightly pointed out, how much difficulty & pain a person might be in, even if they might 'look' to them as being perfectly fine as they climb out of or off whatever form of transportation they might use! I don't call my Spyder my 'High Speed Mobility Scooter' for nothing!

Ps: I do hope you'n your Missus get over that flu soon! There've been a few bad strains of that going around lately, some particularly nasty! So Get Well Soon, OK!

Thanks for your service. Hope you and your wife feel better soon.

It appears that in Michigan you may have one plate and one hanging placard. Renewal required every four years on your birthday.

We went to urgent care, and we have the type A flu. They ordered all kinds of get better stuff for us. Hopefully will get some sleep and relief. It's a bad flu.

I've noticed over the years that it seems those with greater disabilities seem to be more resolved than those with less debilitating issues. Sadly a local incident took a bad turn when two individuals took an incident further than necessary. According to witnesses, two disabled old farts got into a pushing/shoving match over a DV parking spot and one of them slipped and fell hitting his head on the pavement and died as a result. No charges were ever filed.

I'm 60% better this morning. Thank the Lord. I was able to eat breakfast and also go out in the snow to fill the Bird feeders.
The wife, no change. She's just not responding to the meds yet.

Just checking in, I haven't seen any activity from you since this group of posts in February, I am hoping all is well.

It's the same in Florida, only one permanent plate, but you can get a placard for your other car. It's ridiculous that they treat all disabled drivers like they're trying to cheat the system. I used ParkingMD to handle my renewal online instead of standing in line

Here in Illinois, I believe it's still only 1 HC hanging placard and I DV plate. I have the DV Plate on the Spyder (left leg amputee here) and the hanging Placard in my truck. We do have a 3rd vehicle as well.

Yes, I agree at times, it would be nice to have a third Placard/DV plate (usually I forget to get it out of the truck when utilizing the car) but by the same token I am happy and thankful just to have the ones I have.

Forgetting is on me. Makes me, hopefully, not to forget the next time.
Still, thankful and grateful, for the 2 I do have.

 

[Cobranut]

VA is the same. I can only get the one placard.
It's like the disabled aren't supposed to own more than one car.

I only use the HC spots if there are no other reasonable parking spots, but I am forever getting somewhere and finding my placard is in one of the other vehicles. It's very frustrating.

Here in the UK, we get a Blue Badge. Yes, that's what its called. It covers any vehicle the disabled person is in. You just have to take it with you and place it in the windscreen.

I have one, but I don't know how to use it on my Ryker because it would get nicked!
