quote:Same thing in Florida. They provide very strict guidelines to issue a DV plate with a wheelchair. However, I have routinely seen individuals without a wheelchair on their DV plate park in the HC spot. It is not strictly enforced (though it should be).
There are two types of DV tags in Texas, one with the wheelchair, and one without.

but you absolutely can utilize your van at any location in any parking lot. It may be more convenient to have closer access to a ramp but it is not a necessity.
If they have a side entrance ramp on their vehicle they cannot put that ramp down if someone is parked next to them so that’s why they can’t just park anywhere. That is why there is extra space next to the handicap spots that are marked that people aren’t supposed to park in so there is room to drop the ramps from the vehicle. It burns me up when people park in those areas as well because I have known people who came out of a store and can’t put their ramp down because a vehicle is illegally parked so they have to wait until that person comes back to leave or if it’s a smaller store they will go in and ask who drives that vehicle because it’s illegally parked. I also have known people to call the police to try to have them towed. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal to some people but if you live it day in and day out especially with a child then you will understand how frustrating it is that people abuse it and you aren’t able to access the accommodations you or your loved one needs.

I had a co-worker who broke his leg,and got one, but once it healed he kept parking there even though he could get around fine. One day it was raining real hard when I came back from lunch’s and he wasn’t back yet, so I parked there to piss him off. Boy was he hot! Good times.

I'm sorry for the hardship your family has had to endure, but you absolutely can utilize your van at any location in any parking lot.
So you’re completely unaware that many wheelchair vans have side ramps that require the extra room of a HC spot.
You’ve lived a charmed life with no hardship. Be happy with that, but don’t think that everyone else has had your good fortune.

Exactly. There have been times we couldn’t even go to a place bc the HC spots were all full and there was nowhere else to park our van. Sometimes we can unload in the middle of the street and then go find a regular spot somewhere. That’s sometimes, and only if there is another person to help. Can’t just unload my daughter on the curb and leave her there in the sun to go park.

Hope you die soon. Preferably slow and painful.

People either don't realize or DGAD that accessible parking is a huge difference in the lives of many people. I know your love for your daughter makes it worth the struggle, but idiots just make the burden more difficult.

I was coming out of a Target in Katy a few years ago, and noticed some lowlife spoiled wife with no tag sitting in a handicapped spot texting. I'm in my old bastard "get off my lawn" phase of life, so I was going to knock on her window and say something.
But the moons aligned, and a lady using a walker, who had a HC tag, made her way from her non HC parking spot, and hobbled in front of the woman's car on the way in. I stared at the chick in the car, and just pointed at the woman using her walker to get into the store. Woman in car showed zero remorse, but I got my "yells at clouds" moment.

I disagree, if a 30 y/o breaks his leg, a permit that gives him time to recover is needed, not a lifetime pass. When these permits are abused, they become obsolete.
At OLOL parking garage there are HC spots by the elevator and crossover, when my wife was a patient for a week, not once was there ever an empty spot. One morning I got there about 8AM, all spots taken, I took a picture of every car in a HC spot.
The next day I went to visit my wife about 10:30am and the same cars were there, not in the same spots, just the same cars. When I had to walk past the cars to get to the elevator I noticeed 2 anomalies, all of the vehicles were parked nose in, no back-ins, and more than half had an OLOL paking permit on the windshield. Most of the HC permits were expired,2 or 3 were legit.
Figure it out, these are employees gaming the system, a system that no one respects and no one enforces. I forgot what year this was, likely 2020, now OLOL is a zoo since they took over EKL patients. EMS driver said on weekends, there is a 5 hour wait to get a patient in.

Well now that Sid is in charge, we should see more enforcement! Right? Right?

I park in the pickup spots and always available. Just about as close as a handicap (which I would never park in one). I’m not gonna park farther away so lazy people can park close to have someone deliver their shite to them while they sit in AC.
Exactly. The pickup spots should be farthest from the store, not closest. The close spots should benefit the customer, not the employees.

They sure utilize the battery operated shopping buggies in grocery stores.....jeez.....and most are 400lbs plus! DISGUSTING!
Posted on 6/30/26 at 8:37 pm to andouille
I don’t park in handicapped spots. But I do leave my buggie in them instead of the cart corral

False premise. Liberals claim they aren’t capable of getting an ID

I had to go Lowes in Montgomery the other day. Massive amount of empty handicap parking. I got thinking, do people that can't walk very far, do a lot of home self-improvement. Apparently not.
