I have a disabled license plate - sometimes people don't see it (because they expect to see one in the widow) and give me grief.

Sometimes, I feel awkward/embarrassed using the handicap spaces because my disability is not readily apparent. It seems like I can walk normally like anyone else. But when I come back to my van, I am limping and wincing as I get gingerly climb back in.

Sometimes, I just need the wider space to be able to fully open my door to get in and out without twisting.

Often, it is hard to know what's going on in a person's body by taking a look at them.

I'll vote for whichever politician promises to limit the number of handicapped spots to 2 per store.
LOL! In our area, it is quite the opposite. Handicap spots are almost always full. We are always wishing there were more!
