There are many people in this world who are handicapped. The real definition is being physically or mentally disabled or impaired. To obtain a handicapped parking permit, you must simply have a disability and ask your doctor to sign permit papers for you. Now think about all the times you have ever gone to a store, and seen a person parked in a handicapped space, who seems completely fine as they get out of their car. I have. Obtaining a permit is one of the easiest things, because so many doctors aren’t as cognizant as they should be when it comes to signing the forms. Parking abusers make it difficult for disabled people, because they take up an unnecessary amount of spaces, leaving few for actual handicapped persons.
On different occasions, while shopping with a disabled friend, just looking for a parking space is difficult due to permit abusers. Handicapped parking spaces are meant to be used for their easy and close accessibility so you’re not tired as soon as you get there. Yet it tires you out just driving around and looking for an open space. Some of these people may not be abusers, but the ones who are make it equally difficult for those who aren’t.
Some family members, who have these permits, choose to share them with other members of their family. This shows how lazy some of our generation has become.
