Just 2 Minutes

many people rationalize it. they say to themselves "oh, i'll only be a few minutes" or "i've never seen a person in a wheelchair using it!" or maybe they think that it isn't fair for handicap parking to be closer to entrances than other parking.

for whatever reason, people do it all the time. as a person in a wheelchair who now drives it is a constant source of frustration.  i'm often late to class as handicap spots are taken up by persons with no tag.  or even worse some selfish jerk has decided to park on the hash lines in the NO PARKING zone next to my vehicle!  i was once stuck in the cold rain for over an hour waiting for this girl to move her car.  she received a ticket and had the audacity to complain!

to combat this insensitivity our friends in quebec have posted an amazing psa.  watch it. learn from it and hope that it can change perspectives.
