  1. General Dix And what about people Colonostomy bags or bladder dysfunctions? Even vertigo? Or they have caretakers that must help them? The extra space, handles, and higher seat accommodate disabilities that people don't want to show to you or the world, and both Medicine technologies and the American Disabilities Act have given these and many more people with disabilities the dignity and convenience that able-bodied people have enjoyed. So now you can develop a little more compassion, please.

  2. Maarten van Rossem Lezingen Use of such parking spaces must be applied for, and a state-issued parking tag to hang on the rear view mirror is necessary for parking there. It is necessary to do this and for those who are able to walk long distanced in a parking way to give way, because a person with weak legs or a wheel chair needs the convenience of the close parking space to spare then the exhaustion and stress of having to walk so far everywhere. Especially high-traffic areas such as grocery, department stores, and government offices. Traffic in and out of these places is unpredictable, and that is why we must leave these choice parking spaces empty. To accommodate those 10% of the population that need them. Do not worry. They are as frustrated as you are when the designated spaces are full of patrons with handicapped parking spaces. It makes a person plan more. Old people are out sometime about 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Getting to my grocery at 8:00 gives a person 2 advantages. If you have a handicap tag, you get to park up front more easily. If you come at eight a.m., that's when the clerks are stocking the shelves. So you get choice stock available.

  3. I Think the answer is possibly in the video. Attach a globe to the wheel. This can indicate inclusiveness of all disabilities while keeping the readily-recognizable symbol of a wheelchair as indicative of disability.

  6. And your mistakes are not nearly as bad as other people's comments which are full of grammar and spelling that makes me cringe.

  7. atomick For a while, it WAS the symbol for the symbol of the toilet. A few years later that was abruptly stopped, and it was used for disability accommodations.
