Back in the Mtns aka hillbillyheaven, you can cop one of those rear view mirror tags from your doctor if you have a fookin hangnail...you just beef to your Doc and he writes Script for it, and you pick it up at the local DMV.
The most common "handicap" that I observe, back in far western NC, is simply being really fat/toothless. The few HDCP spots at the WalMartNation have people orbiting like electrons waiting for that close-in spot. Bunch of MoonPie eating fatsos, is what they are.
Here in SW FLA, those tags are ubiquitous, too...though most of that seems to be age driven.
Hellsbells, on our golf course, one can secure a HDCP Flag for the cart top, so you can drive right up to the green. I play with some of these bastards and they are about as impaired as I am,
I agree w/Phong...and, thanks for bringing it up so I could freaking Rant this AM!
Other than a True Handicap, (and most here could agree on that definition), or a temp thing like hip surgery, this overdone and stupid practice ought to done away with, imo.

Over.
