<quoted text>What are your plans when you can't drive the minimum speed or you can't see that happening to you? All get old and feeble or they die before then. You will one day not be able to drive 40 miles per hour. IF YOU MANAGE YOUR TIME RIGHT YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO SPEED 30 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR CAR AND YOUR HOME AND YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE?

We really should thank God daily that we are able to even sit upright and type- and that we have a chair and a desk and a home to put them in and money to pay Charter for the privilege.
And there are handicapped people that have no apparent handicap until they unjustifiably park in one of those spots. I agree with a previous poster that these people are handicapped in another way.
I also thank God daily that I don't need to cheat the system to feel like things are eqiutable. I am indeed blessed and usually if it is not raining, I park as far away from the store doors as I can- for the 'free exercise'. And I don't feel jealous of those that DO cheat the system.
Because it is so sad to be of the mindset that justifies taking one of those spots from an elderly couple that could come by at any time.
And I do feel a lot of empathy for the homeless- except the ones with no physical problems at all who could work for one of the day -labor businesses.
And all section 8 people are not 'bad', but sometimes they are people who made very bad decisions or did not plan well for their future. And sometimes things DID happen WAY beyond their control.
The point is, all poor people are not bad people and all all people who use handicapped parking spots ARE handicapped- in one way or another. Sometimes they don't even know they are handicapped.

The system is ripe for abuse. "technically" I qualify for a disabled placard. My doctor offered to sign off on it. My feeling is I am not physicaly unable to walk to and from my truck, so why should I get special accomodation? If I find myself needing a wheel chair or unable to breath while walking the 50ft from my car, then I would reconsider.
I just wish the other, possibly, able bodied would be considerate of the truely physically disabled.

there is a law about impeding the flow of traffic. look it up . further more you do not go 30 miles an hour in a 45 mph zone or on the highways. my eye sight is just fine and i can maneuver quite well, in fact my fingers are quite adept at calling the highway patrol when i come across road hogs such as the ones you described. If you cannot follow the law then get off the road, ignorance is not an excuse and being handicapped will only fly so far. there are transportation services for nitwits like you , might do you some good to call them.

<quoted text> It is known as stereotyping. I did the same with homeless people until I walked in their shoes. I reckin stereotyping is just human nature. I blow my wig off when it comes to bad mouthing about the homeless and people who are on Section 8. Walked the walk in both cases. I am guilty of stereotyping handicapped people who didn't seem handicapped also, I don't blow up and mouth off about it like I do the other two though when I realized it was wrong. Haven't walked in them thar shoes and hopefully won't. Don't stereotype no more though.

I don't think the handicapped permits are restricted to physical impairments only .... it could be someones' heart or a breathing problem.

DO YOU GO GET THE ELDERLY AND TAKE THEM ON ERRANDS OR JUST TO RIDE AROUND. I would bet you complain when you find them doing the speed limit. i sometimes on i-40 nd i-95 drive the exact speed limilt in the right lane and it's p.o.'s folks no end. i mostly drive 5 mph over the speed limit to keep from beimg run over by the scofflaws. nitwits,you're just another troll dimbulb that has no respect for others and thinks the world belings to them. i bet you average speeding 15-20 miles per hour over the speed limit. DO YOU CALL THE LAW ON THE ONES SPEEDING? I DOUBT IT,TWOFACED.

I'll go you one better. The way disability is written, and therefore handicapped placards dispersed mental disability also qualifies for handicapped parking.
You never know, unless you know the person, but I do know clinically depressed individuals and mildly retarded people that use the handicapped spot although physically they are very athletic.

I'll do you one better than that. I know one person in particular who got their disability because they are illiterate,however they passed the driving exam. Explain that one .

You know nothing about me or who I do call the law on and for what reason ,yet you continue to make an **** out of yourself by your assumptions.Further more I have been on here Long enough that I am not a troll but whatever you wish to think in that dementia world of yours.I am glad I got you rattled by the looks of your post it appears that you almost went cardiac. As for when I am older I will handle things as they come and DO SO RESPONSIBLY which is more than can be said for alot of those on the road.

<quoted text> YOU SAID YOU WERE QUITE "ADEPT AT CALLING THE HIGHWAY PATROL FOR ROAD HOGS," A QUOTE FROM ONE OF YOUR POSTS.I HAVE NO USED FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE THE ELDERLY BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING THEIR ABILITY TO GET AROUND SAFELY IN A WORLD OF LAWBREAKING SPEEDERS AND DRUNKS AND DRUGGIES. "duh huh,"I know all i need to know about you from the words you use and the way you use them indicates you have no feelings for your fellow humans. I KNOW ALL THAT I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU AND MORE.

You don't know chit other than how to be a blowhard. you sound like a whiny **** woman that is adept at putting words in others mouths. elderly,handicapped ,etc if you can't drive without interrupting the safe flow of traffic than you have no damn business being on the road.

<quoted text> YOU ARE MAKING ASSUMSPTIONS AGAIN AS YOU SY. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS STAYING UP WITH THE FLOW AND USUALLY PASS A LOT OF THE FLOW,SLOWLY. I'VE JUST BEEN USING YOUR OWN WORDS. I DID SAY I COULD DRIVE BETTER AND SAFER AND FASTER THAN YOU. IF WE HAVE 800 MILES TO DRIVE I WILL GET THERE QUICKER THAN YOU WITHOUT A TICKET. I SUSPECT YOU ARE A PERSON THAT STARTS ROAD RAGE INCIDENTS. you stay too angry.
