Video: Five bad excuses for bogarting parking reserved for disabled people

http://www.coloradoindependent.com/154344/video-five-bad-excuses-for-bogarting-parking-reserved-for-disabled-people

If you don’t have a disability, don’t take parking spots reserved for people who do, suggests a new public service announcement series from The Colorado Advisory Council for Persons With Disabilities.

The spots are short. They’re snappy. And they’re effective at hammering home the message: “Your excuses will never be as good as their reasons: No plates. No placard. No parking.”

Here are a few of the videos and five lame excuses (out of many more):

No placard here, but I used one crutch on the broken side so I could have a hand free to grab things and push the cart and left the other in the car. Yeah, there were no electric granny carts available, either.

There were never any placards on the cars in the disabled slots.
