Abusing Handicapped Parking Placards
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. What possesses able-bodied individuals to illegally steal parking spaces from those who truly need the special location? For many, it is the opportunity to expedite the tedious job of parking; for others, it is a subconscious test to see just how far they can push the system. While doing so may appear to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for those who have legal privilege to the parking space, abusing ADA placards represents much more than that. The perpetual misuse of handicapped parking placards takes away the individual's security of knowing that there will be an available space to use; when an able-bodied person illegally uses that space, the handicapped individual is forced to find the nearest open spot, which is sometimes all the way across the parking lot. Indeed, this invalidates the very reason for obtaining the parking placard in the first place. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
