I come across this very often in town. Being just 50% disabled I may not use these. But when I see those BMWs, Mercedes and SUVs getting parked there without any sign of the drivers being disabled I go to them and just say when they get out: "a physical disability is not noticeable, so there’s only one that remains."
I make sure that there are people around as I don't want to get beaten up.
I have a Class 1/ Class A disability sticker, depending on which state I'm in.
However, I look perfectly fit and healthy ...
I sacked a cardiologist when he said to me after 6 days in a level 2 cardiac ward in late 2018 "You look well, John." He failed to diagnose sick sinus syndrome, tachy-brady syndrome, level 2/3 AV block, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, and seemed to think that a pulse rate in the low 30s was OK.
It took my new cardiologist exactly 12 minutes to diagnose what was wrong. I have since had a pretty quick cardiac ablation (2019), followed by a pacemaker as urgent surgery 8 weeks later (2020). Followed by an emergency cardiac ablation last year for atrial flutter (in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic). Both the surgeon and anaesthetist had to get special permission from the government to do the procedure, as not their domiciliary hospital.
I still look perfectly healthy ...
I'm actually almost completely buggered ...
I've been accused of using someone else's sticker by both members of the public and parking officers.
Looks can be very deceptive, Walter!
But I do appreciate what you are saying.
