How can I get a handicapped licence plate thingy? My Doc says there is nothing wrong with me.?
Filed Under Cars and Transportation
I really want cool parking when I go to a Dodger / Laker game. I wouldn’t abuse it, I’d only use it once in a while. Plus I don’t want to put money in a meter. It’s not that I am cheap, I don’t always have enough quarters and stores don’ t like giving you change. How can I get one?
Answer:
Hahaha! Just wanted to let you know that it’s illegal, and comes with a hefty fine ($250 and up). Plus, you’ll be taking spots away from truly handicapped people. The handicapped spaces are pretty limited, so if there are 10 spots, and 9 handicapped people come to the game, plus you, a person that is totally fine, then the last handicapped person there will be forced to park elsewhere far far away
Have you ever seen that Seinfeld episode where (I think) George parked in a handicapped spot? Anyway… I assume you live in CA. Go to http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr07.htm for more info on how to obtain one. Maybe you can qualify for one of the diseases (although I truly hope you don’t, ’cause that is not pleasant, you know?). If you live in a different state go to your state DMV or MVD site or go to http://arthritis.about.com/od/driving/a/handicapparking.htm and click on your state for the rules. Pay special attention to the fines that you can get slapped with for breaking the law
Other than that, I’d say carpool with someone or take public transportation… or have enough quarters. It’s not like you are going to those games every day, so just make a habit of saving every quarter every time you use cash. Doesn’t the stadium have non-metered parking for a paper money fee on entrance or exit? That’s odd…
