Like I said. I don't need to parking a handicapped spot very often. Those aren't usually days I ride the bike, but sometimes I do. I was just looking for a way to keep the placard from getting stolen. I don't like to go to DMV in the best of times, and they're getting ready to close the local office for renovations. Maybe I will, though. Besides, we park on the sidewalk amd entryways, right ?
Thanks for the help and explanations. Gotta love DMV.

DMV lady's solution when i called was to just leave the mirror placard hanging on the bike if I needed to. She said that if someone steals it I can just call and get another one. "They're free", after all.

But yeah I hear you, I have and old licence where I seriously look like a homicidal maniac because I spent the whole day at DMV (9 hours) getting the run around and being told I had the wrong form or I was in the wrong line etc. By the time they took my picture I really was ready to go on a killing spree. My next licence picture was done at a branch that had just re-opened two days prior after having been closed for two years for renovations. There was NO ONE in there besides the employees. They were so bored they were climbing over each other to help me. I was literally in and out in under ten minutes. That day I had my hair down and and was all smiles as a result. Folks said the picture ended up looking more like Jesus.

If I'm just running into the store and know what I going to grab I park in the yellow lies at the end of the row. Never been told anything and there have been managers out there.

I guess I should expect this kind of behavior from a sidewalk parking, coke drinking, wheelchair guy drunk getting hobo that lives in a box.

+1 - I park wherever the &$*# I want and ain't nobody gonna say #%@# to me. I've never had a ticket or even had a LEO say anything. Most of them won't bother you as long as you're not blocking the sidewalk, they know why it's there. And the cops who hang at some of the places I hang at park THEIR bikes on the sidewalk so - ............
