Agreed O wise one. But there might be extenuating circumstances with that
too. I'm thinking of people with Alzheimer and problems like that where the
driver might not want to leave them too far away in the parking lot. I don't
know if this is a valid reason to have a permit, but I'm thinking if my Mom
had a problem like that, and I needed to go into the drugstore or something
for a minute (forget that I have a disability for the sake of this scenario
-- let's say I'm AB). I'd want her to be as near to the store I'm in as
possible.
On the other hand, maybe that means I shouldn't leave her alone in the car at
all. I don't know -- this is complicated.
