We only have my mom's placard, and only use it when she's in the car with us. I'm sure my dad could get a placard of his own, since he does have a heart condition (which could be getting better, since he's back into exercising again and lost a bunch of weight)

I dont see the point for getting one for me yet, and am hoping I wont ever have to have a handicapped placard for myself. There are times when I just drop my mom off at the door of a store and then I go park (out in the boonies a bit to save the paint job on my car from the insane people who dont give a carp if they ram the carts into other people's cars)

I'll do that just because I want to do the little walk from my car into the store. I'm actually doing that more now, since I started to feel better recently, schlepping myself thru the parking lot actually feels good to me now. (gosh, I hope that lasts!)

I am glad that my mom's been wrong about how it's used for a few years now. I thought it was weird that she thought you could only use it for one car. I'm thinking the wording that it's "not transferrable" confused her. I had to tell her several times tonight that it means you cant transfer it to another person...but that it was perfectly ok to use it in other cars. She still doesnt quite get it I think, since everytime we parked somewhere tonight, she'd say "I hope we dont get a ticket!".
