handicap parking with no placard

[cetiya]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA i'm curious, i broke my foot in two places and can barely walk. can i park in a handicap place, since i am indeed temporarily handicapped? or can i get my doc to give me a temporary placard? not sure how all that works. would i get in trouble since i really am having a hard time getting around?

You need to go to the doctor to get a prescription /note that you then take to the DMV to get a temporary pass for your car.

and if you did not understand this completely:


do NOT park in a HC space until you have that placard. It doesn't matter if you need it or not. What allows you to park there is that placard so without it, you will get a justified ticket.

Your Dr. might give you one thats not a temporary one.

Washington has a specific application form for disabled parking permits; the physician must complete the relevant section.

I certainly got when I fractured my ankle. It was for a 3 month period when I was done with a cast.

An asinine comment - what makes you think this might be even remotely true? (Don't answer - it's rhetorical)
