    I believe while there should not be a required number of handicap parking spaces there should be stricter punishment for those who aren't disabled going on said spaces.

    I wish you had been clearer about parking on the access aisles. In my experience, that’s the biggest problem. People with placards and plates are frequently guilty of this. They don’t understand the purpose of the access aisles.

    I have been disabled for over 20 years. 2 years ago i got my car tagged and a placard. Since then i have caught this lady recording me. I look normal and unless you know me you do not know how much pain i am in on a daily basis. I hide it from others but have found now that i am 49 it is getting harder and harder to move around. Sitting and getting up is taking bigger tolls on my back. I am disabled from hip down in leg and it cause my lower back to go out. I would love to trade places with a normal person and let them walk in my shoes for just a day because i know for a fact they would not be able to handle it. I never ever wear shorts. I keep my legs covered at all time and i never wear tight fitting pants. I hide my flaw the best i can but as i age it is getting harder and harder to do so. For one i find getting into the car is causing me to yell out most days from the sharp pains in both leg and back. The reason i sit for a while before getting all the way out of car is because i have to wait on pain level to ease enough so i can stand. I have a 7 year old and she wants to ride in the grocery cart. I have to help her out and if someone actually watched me truely they would realize i wrap a arm around her waist and then she grabs hold of me and climbs to me. I let her slid down my body because i can not bend with her or we would both be hitting the ground. I do the best i can because at the end of the day i am still mommy to a young child. It breaks my heart to tell her i can not do this or that. She hears that way to much. I can not ride a bike, i can not hold her hand and skip, walking on uneven ground or in grass can cause me to be flat on my back for hours in home. I can not go in deep water ( water movement is to much stress on body and will cause leg to go out from under me). I always have to be aware of the ground i step onto. My bad leg has no control and will slip out from under me easy. (rainy today) Today i was leaving walmart and almost landed on the ground. If i had not been leaning on cart because of my leg and back i would have fell. Ofc i yelled out when my foot started sliding out from under me before i got other foot to stead me. It scared me so ofc i yelled out. The elderly man working near door stated very loud so all could hear that floor is not slippery and i need to stop making a scene. This annoys me because looking at me you know none of my history. How many surgeries i have had. How much pain i am in. You only see what i want you to see which is a normal person. I have had men say very rudely out loud... Look another person using there parents handicap tag. I usually look around to see who it is because there are so many times people ignore the handicap signs and park there. Then i realize he is referring to me. Well my parents do not live in this state and my grand parents are all dead. For these rude people that say such things , i now look them in eye and say. Yeah i hate it when they do that and would love to have them walk in my shoes for 24 hours. I do see people run/jog in store and they are using handicap and there is nobody sitting in car disabled. But i do not know their issues, so i can not tell you if the are breaking laws or legit. Most people that are disabled are not as limited as i am. I was never suppose to be able to stand and walk again but i am extremely stubborn. My leg/foot lets me know when it has had enough. My foot will go limp or my knee will wobble ( not sure how to describe what it does). This means i have little time to get off my feet or use something to lesson weight on leg like leaning on a shopping cart until i can sit down. If i have nothing to help you will see me tripping over foot and knee bending the wrong way as i try and find the closet place to sit down.

      I have a similar experience. I too am disabled with a young daughter - it hurts to tell her no to so many things she wants to do with me. They know we love them, which is the most important thing. Still heartbreaking at times. Sending hugs. ❤

      I too am disabled and try very hard to hide my disability. There have been many times that Karens have called the police on me for "using someone else's blue placard", and when I have to show the police what my handicap is, they then want to drag me off to the ER. Dude, I need to stay away from that disease-infested hellhole with these open wounds that I hide under my pants. I have several layers of dressings, tubular bandages and jeans over top. I am too tall and long-legged for a car so I drive a 4wd pickup for the height of the seat to ease the pain of getting in or out. I have to sit there for about 10 minutes after getting in or out for the pain to subside. If I am on a hard surface longer than 35 minutes, I start to bleed more than normal. I bleed every day and change out my ABD pads 4-6 times a day depending on how much I have to be on concrete.
      My last disabled placard was ripped off of my mirror by this one old biddy that said she was going to hire an attorney to have me arrested. Well so far I haven't been, seems they need more dirt than that to arrest me on private property at HEB.
      The only good thing about the Covid thing is that they don't try to rip your placards off anymore.
      I do not have diabetes, I am not an alcoholic, this was because I was burned from the knees on down at work in the 1990s.
      I wish that some of these snowbirds would have to walk in my shoes for a week or two, let them worry about what is going to happen to them if they fall and someone sees blood, how much hell they will have to endure because the local hospital doesn't have a trauma center nor a doctor that even knows what livedoid vasculopathy is and how to treat it. Do them all some good to mind their own business. Ok, my rant is over.

      I was in pain for years before I couldn't walk and didn't park in handicap spots. For the past 7 years I can not walk and handicap spots are the only place I can park.

    I can't walk and have to use a van with a ramp to get my scooter out of my van. I can't tell you how many times I've had to wait, just give up and leave, or have been stuck outside because someone is abusing the use of handicapped parking spaces. All of those situations are bad but the worse is when I have parked and someone blocks my van so I am stuck outside waiting for them to move so I can get back into my car.

    Almost every day that I am out and about, I observe abuse of
    handicap parking spots. Most often it is by healthy and ambulatory adult and teenage drivers who are driving handicap-marked vehicles with no passengers or with passengers that are not handicapped. Then I see a handicapped driver who must park farther away because the handicapped spaces are all being used, and some by these very inconsiderate, discourteous, and disrespectful drivers. We must all be aware that common courtesy and respect is needed by our fellow human beings, our brothers and sisters. Please do your part in showing this respect. Great news piece. This has been needed for a long time. Cusps to you both and God bless.

      add to that, when the good husband, son etc, drives wife/mom to store. disabled individual stays in car while the 'able bodied' driver sprints inside.

      Im going to offer you a bit of "insight"...Not all disabilities are visible...So before you judge that "healthy" teenager or "ambulatory" adult...my suggestion is to mind your own business...My son has a disability. You cant see it...doesnt mean its not there..He has a placard...Oh yeah...Im a disabled vet.... Guess what...you cant see my disability either...but its there...Oh yeah...Ive got a placard also...but rarely use it...So instead of getting on a soapbox about "these very inconsiderate, discourteous, and disrespectful drivers". you offer a solution..like more handicapped spaces!

    I was expecting this video to be more about like what to do if somebody was to take over a handicap spot that was not disabled. Instead I guess I listened to this and it doesn't help at all currently my wife and I are trying to get a handicap spot in our own building and they have been laughing in our faces and refusing

    You want to fix handicap violators? First time offenders $1,000 fine and automatic tow with a 30 day hold.
