It all depends how your local bylaws are set up as to the ratio of handicapped spots to regular spots, but usually you're lucky as a disabled person if there are anything more than 2% of the total spots in a given parking lot that are assigned to handicapped vehicles.

I dunno how they give out permits in your neck of the woods but Ontario really clamped down on 'em several times (and had to back off after the latest clampdown 'cause they went way too far the other way)

I still think having the plates should be an option. As convient as the permits are, they can cause problems when not displayed properly...
