This is a joke, right?

It absolutely amazes me every time I see an inappropriate vehicle parked in a handicapped space!
What do I mean by "inappropriate".  Well how's this one:

This is a "Smart" car.  You know the tiny little gas saving machines?
green?...Sure
sporty?.....kind of
appropriate for someone with a TRUE disability?  NOT A CHANCE!

As you can see, there's absolutely no room for a walker, a wheelchair or ANY kind of assistance for the disabled.
Why would someone, who can squeeze their bodies into a tiny match box like this, take a space away from some who cannot walk?
Maybe they claim they have a heart condition.  Maybe...but they were parked outside the
Old Spaghetti Factory!!!  If you have a heart condition, thick rich pasta isn't on the meal plan, is it?

PLEASE....people......you are taking advantage of a system that was set up to help people in WHEELCHAIRS.....no one else.
If you're going to fake the disability, please do us the courtesy of not driving a car that we all know can't hold any kind of disability aid!

Really?

Are there really THAT many disabled people?
Why is it that every 3rd or 4th car I see has a placard?
It's not VIP parking people.
Have some empathy and save the spots for the people that really need them.
I just saw a woman in a Range Rover, she was in her 30's and the car
had Washington plates.  Pulled right into the blue spot.
Really?  You can hop in and out of a LARGE Range Rover and
drive 24 hours...but you need that spot.
Watch this blog for exciting new ways to make this change!
It's time!

The beginning of something new

Give back the Plaque is a new blog focusing on the extreme misused of disabled parking placards.  As the father of a severely disabled daughter, we DO have a parking plaque, that we only use when she is with us.
But almost everywhere we go, EVERY single disabled parking spot is taken.
And it's fairly obvious, that most people using these spots are in no way unable to walk the length of a parking lot.
believe me, I'd much rather have my daughter walk and park 100 yards away!  But we simply need a bigger space to get her and her wheelchair in and out of the car.
Feel free to contact us at taylorspespective@gmail.com with your great photos, videos and stories of how you convinced someone that they shouldn't abuse these placards!
PLEASE NO PHYSICAL CONFRONTATIONS!  But we're looking for bold individuals, tired of people using this system as a VIP parking privilege.
Here are some photos from the recent BNP Paribas Tennis tournament in Indian Wells.  This many handicap parkers in just ONE of the designated lots?

I saw two people in wheelchairs this day.  I even saw a volunteer (required to be on their feet for hours at a time) hopping into one of these cars.
It's time to stop this and help those who really need these spots!
Can you help us?
Thanks!
