Letter: Too many people abuse parking passes

Monday, Dec. 11, 2006 | 7:31 a.m.

This is in response to the Las Vegas Sun's Dec. 2 article by Mike Trask on handicapped parking:

Living in a senior community, I observe many handicapped plates and signs on my neighbors' cars. I suspect that more than half of theses people received the paperwork to obtain these items from their doctors following some surgery or temporary disability.

Most have been fortunate enough to overcome their physical problem but still feel that they have the right to use the special parking areas. They use them when they go to the club to play tennis, bocce, work out with equipment for three or more hours or take a hike on the mountain trail. Many of them are bowlers.

Maybe these are the ones abusing the parking spaces. Let their conscience be their guide.
