My GP advised me not to carry anything over 3k due to very bad back. I can hardly hold and push a full grocery trolley anymore due to my spine being in bad shape.
Sometimes I can't walk very far either. I have often thought of having a medical exam to see if I'd qualify for a disbled parking permit.
Then I have seen people with permits get out of their cars. Some are very very old, and fragile with no mobility, and they drive.
Some get out of their vehicles and straight into their wheelchairs.
I then think that I am not really disabled and don't need a permit. I just can't bear much weight and have a hard time grocery shopping. But there have been tmes when my back goes into spasm which is often, where I can hardly walk me self and I drive around in pain.
I reckon as long as I can properly control my vehicle I don't need to report nothing to nobody.
Just 3 days ago I was almost run down crossing the street by a man who looked like he was 99 in a vehicle with a disabled permit. I was crossing on a pedestrian crossing right in front of him but he did not slow down nor did he see me??
Yet he drives!!
