By the sound of some of the comments here I am led to believe that many disabled folks are being regularly approached and verbally abused by snarling, blood thirsty vigilantes who think that these disabled folks are faking it when they use a handicap spot. Is that really a common occurrence or are some of you exaggerating a bit? As someone mentioned, what is wrong with being asked? If it keeps one faker from using a spot, doesn't that leave a spot available for a person who really needs it? In Florida where I live, handicap spots are harder to find than an honest politician, and fakers are everywhere. I knew a woman on my block who used her mothers handicap permit all the time, and she had no guilt about it what so ever.
