Thanks!
Ahhh, thank you so much, you guys! I really wasn't sure. My mom has a placard for her car, but I do not; I am her only child and I am handicapped myself--legal blindness since birth--but I do not want to use a handicapped parking spot myself, as I CAN walk, but Mom cannot. We were just wondering what the laws were here.
Thank you for the answers, we appreciate it a LOT!
The thing is, we live VERY rural, and we have only seen one other, maybe two, golf carts in this area-- and NOT parked at the local stores. So we were not sure..... We def do not want to take a handicapped place from someone who needs it, but there are times when Mom does need it, and she is driving her van... but now we have this nice cart, and didn't know what the laws were.
You would be surprised, (and ashamed!) at the lack of knowledge of our local law enforcement when it comes to these things. We may live in a "Mayberry" type of town in size and culture, but boy, these local cops/sheriffs, they sometimes have NO IDEA!
I make sure to carry my I.D. with me always, just in case! And it shouldn't have to be like that, but sadly, it is. :-(
Thanks for the help!!!
