Why do so many people abuse the handicapped parking spaces?

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

I know sometimes its hard to know what the disability is with some people, but if you have a handicapped tag on your vehicle and its for another member of your family, it doesn’t give you the right to park in those spaces. My husband has had to drive all around the parking lot because someone took the last handicapped space and you could tell there was nothing wrong with them. They were just too lazy to walk from a further space! Those spaces are there specifically for the handicapped and no one else. Thanks for any feedback on this.
