Scroll down a bit and it shows criteria for having a placard or plate. One of them is if you can't walk 200 feet without resting.

And where exactly does it state that being "a little overweight" qualifies? (insert head-shaking)

It was likely some distraught "AP" anyway whose theoretical "edge" just took a hit from the reality of a parking ticket.

Damn sure wasn't an AP. Suncoast ran all the AP's off years ago. You know that, Rob.

Booze talking again?

Ever hear of "promotions that turn a play positive?" That's AP lingo for "that's a $75/hr. edge, and whether I win or lose doesn't matter because it is a good play!"

---

More ignorant blather from one of the dunces. Suncoast ran the AP's off because of multiple point days that gave them a 100.6% play. They ran two dozen players off over a stinking .6% advantage. There was a big discussion about it on vpFREE. Dancer even wrote a two part article about it. Wise up.

Handicap criteria are ranging. Somebody could be handicappe based on a cardiac or lung issue meaning they can't walk long distances doesn't mean they can't operate a bike. And if they are trike bikes many now have semi automatic transmissions. Myself I have nerve damage in my left leg and could never operate a Reg bike but a CanAm Spyder I could.

Get off your effin fat ass and walk into Starbucks and get your coffee. Morons wait in line 20 deep and I just walk in.

Newsflash dude you would've been able to get a temporary handicap placArd had you asked and it would've been renewable. I know because I had one when I jacked up my ankle foot and lower leg was in a cast no weight bearing for 12 weeks and a brace for another 2 1/2 months. Also when I had serious back issues in 211 into 2012 I had a temp placard because I couldn't walk for very long due to pain.

Always more then needed except in Florida my mom has a perm placard she's 70 with back surgery and just had first of two hips replaced. I can tell you Florida and here in AZ no such thing usually as extra HC spots with all the retirees

My point was even though I was crippled, I didn't want to take a handicapped space. I completely destroyed my foot and ankle and was told I would never be able to walk normally again or play any sports. Only option was to fuse my foot to my ankle. I refused and it took over 2 years but I rebuilt my ankle and eventually was able to play all sports as well as semi pro hockey albeit always in pain and a step slower.

Cripples should stay home and out of the rest of usun's way. Nothing more annoying than to get stuck behind a peg-leg or copd turd with oxygen or in a wheelchair when walking thru a store or casino.
