    They don't need to have ALL of those issues, just one. You don't have to be able to walk to operate a scooter.

    OK, and you consider someone so restricted that they cannot walk 200 feet unassisted perfectly capable to muscle around a 600 pound bike (with rider) in an emergency, or low-speed high maneuverability moment? Say, to not run over a kid?

    Ah HA!

    But that is EXACTLY my point, good sir!

    This ISN'T a car. This is a motorcycle plate specifically for people too physically farked up to safely operate one.

    And, thus, why I said "WTF!?!?" when I saw it.

    Oh and loco parentis means "in place of parent" which in this case means if you are in care of a handicap person... So you yourself, do not have to be handicapped to actually have a handicap plate.

    That was kind of my thought. If you need a special parking spot closer to the building then how to you pick up a fallen bike, back it out of a parking space, or wrestle with it in general? It's not like a car that has 4 wheels, and forward and reverse gears. A car won't tip over on you in a parking lot, or require arm strength to keep it upright while riding. If you can do all of those things, how can you not park where everyone else does? :confused:

    Drop the passenger off at the door and go park. Problem solved. You don't need a special plate for that.

    That's like handing out a special plate so you can park closer when you go get groceries so you don't have to carry them as far when you could have someone pull the car up front for you.

    All this talk about handicapped tags makes me wish they have mentally handicapped tags.

    In a few instances the handicapped tag is for mental. ;)

    That was a clean pull, though he probably needed a tetanus shot after.
