re: Handicapped parking spots...are they abused?

I have a cousin who is older now, but he became a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident when he was a younger guy.. When my other cousin was going thru the contents of the cousin’s car that had been involved in the accident- he found in the console a crumpled up ticket for parking in a handicapped parking space, issued just a few days before the accident that would paralyze him………. That’s a true story, and i dont know who believes in karma or whatever you want to call it- but ever since then, i have never even thought about parking in a handicapped parking spot.. im just thankful to have functional legs so i can park in any spot, no matter how far away- and then walk to wherever im going .
