Handicap Parking Placard<br />
By: Heather Latimer / Heather’s Self-Help Tips<br />
Attaching the handicap placard on the<br />
post behind the car’s rearview mirror can<br />
be a bugbear to those suffering from painful<br />
shoulders, arthritic fingers and/or poor eyesight.<br />
In their fumbled attempts, the hook part of the cardboard placard often<br />
becomes crumpled or torn.<br />
Caregiver Bobbi Ellis, who drives patients to medical appointments<br />
has listened to many of the above complaints. One day she hit upon a<br />
solution. She:<br />
(1) Noticed a sturdy rubber band on a bunch of asparagus;<br />
(2) Attached that band to her rearview mirror vertically and on the<br />
far right;<br />
(3) Placed the placard hook through the rubber band so the hook<br />
was protected between the band and the mirror.<br />
You can also purchase a handicap parking holder from Amazon. It’s<br />
made of plastic and has a sturdy hook for fitting over the mirror post.<br />
Perfect? Yes - if you have good dexterity. And yes in cooler states; not<br />
year-round in Nevada and Arizona. Our scorching temperatures cause<br />
the body-part to crumble and the hook to break off.<br />
As you know it’s illegal to display the placard when there’s no disabled<br />
person in the car. It’s also forbidden to keep the placard visible while<br />
driving. This latter isn’t enforced often but it’s a possibility.<br />
