• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Handicap Stickers

I have handicap tags for my truck and Spyder. I had the thing that you hang from your mirror but forgot to put it up once and got a $500 ticket. It was dismissed but was still a pain to deal with.
 
I've got one, and affix it in my LidLox...

HANG CARD

I solved my problem by putting velcro on the top of the dash below the windshield and on the handicap mirror hang card. The card shows up clearly for anyone who is nearby and is easily removable when leaving. I have not had any problems so far.
 
I confront anyone as they leave their vehicle if the do not have a HC plate or card showing. I always tell them that they forgot to put their HC card up. More than once I've been told to mind my own business as they quickly walk away. I always let them know I'll be calling the police. At that point most will turn around and move their vehicle. Both my parents use walkers and I have a brother who lost a leg in the war. Call me an @$$ if you wish, but those spots are for the disabled not the lazy.
 
Not sure if you actually have a legal handycap sticker or if you just bought some stickers? Did you have a Doctor sign a form to take to the DMV and get the placard or plate. If you did this you are perfectly legal. If you just sent off for some handicap stickers you are not legal. Your post says you sent off for two handycap stickers. If you did this on your own and are parking in the handycap zones you are in violation of your states laws and could be liable for a very large fine. Legal placards have a state number with an expiration date on them and are issued by the state with a Doctors form on file.

What is a TBI?

I have handycap license plates on all my vehicles including my Spyder.

Good point! I put my auto hanger on my dash one day and came back to find a ticket. I went right to court and managed to see the judge within an hour. I respectfully pointed out that I have just as much trouble walking while on my Spyder as when I'm in my car. The judge looked up the reg. for Oregon and agreed with me. He gave me a note for the DMV and they issued me a sticker. I placed it on the dash just behind the windshield. I have never has a problem since them. Had one HC jerk question me once and I just asked "Excuse me Dr. I didn't get your name or specialty". He turned and walked away with a Humph.
