Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Jolynn, I got the placard without a problem, but I have been chastised several times for using it. One time my husband and I were at the grocery store. I had just limped to the car using my cane and had to wait for the little old lady parked next to me (who was in GREAT physical shape) to get into her car. Well, I got in, fastened my seat belt, and took down the placard (you aren't supposed to drive with it in place) the engine was already running. She looked over at me, made an ugly faced, wagged her finger and pointed to the handicapped sign. I tried to show her my placard and cane, but she was too deaf to hear me and wouldn't bother to look! Often I can't find a handicapped place, they are all full so it doesn't matter that I have a placard. Kathy P.S. It is great to hear we don't have a problem! > > None of us really need a cane to walk and are not really impaired, > according to the RMV here in MA.
