handicap plates

[Guest guest]

Go to your motor vehicle agnecy and get the license plate registration form.

Fill out your section then give it to your primary or ortho whomever you

think is comfortable filling it out for your condition to sign off on it.

they give it back to you .you go to motor vehicle and they give you handicap

plates at no charge. I had my primary care doc do this. Its not a big deal.

I have permanent plates. I always park in handicap even when i feel good

thanks to pain meds because my si joints are shot and i was told each step

actually is helping wear them away so every step i can save.......its a

choice... if you feel good and you want to walk there is no law that says if

you have handicap plates you can't park at the far end of the lot if you

want to... but it is really beneficial for the days you want to crawl into a

hole and hide but you still have to go out and do for yourself or the

family!! You don't need to justify yourself to anyone. If you feel you need

them , then get them.
