I can relate to unfair sigeage to create entrapment. I was nailed in a speed zone once when the sign was behind a tree and not visiable until about 15 feet from the sign. Yep, I got nailed. Being a teenager at the time, no one wanted to listen to what I had to say. I suspect in this case it would be true no matter who was driving.
I have handicap placards in both of my vehicles. (but not the Vette). My wife needs them. The ONLY times they get used are when she is in the car and we stop where she is going in from that spot. If I drop her off at the door, or if I run in and she waits, I do not use the handicap spots. They are not for me.
What upset me was when I pulled up to a store by myself, and did not use the desigated spot, but another car did pull in. It had the placard, but two early 20 somethings got out. They were in far better shape than I, and could not in any way be handicap. An officer saw them and questioned them if they had the placard. They said yes. He never looked, but more so I wished he had checked who the card was registered to. It was not them. But nothing happened. Quite frankly, this angers me. Someone taking advantage of someone else's problem for their own benefit. This is just as bad as parking there without the card, maybe worse on a moral level. There have been many times I could not park where my wife needed to be, only to find this kind of crap.
Just venting.
