Have you ever noticed how a lot of the people using handicap people are significantly overweight?
Almost every time I see someone parking in a handicap spot, the only reason I can determine that they might be eligible for a handicap sticker is they are overweight. But it seems to me that if you are overweight, it means you need more exercise. So why would the government give them a handicap spot? Because they can’t walk very well because they way too much?
Well, I have a better option. When you get your license if you are 30 or more pounds overweight you should get a sticker on your license plate for overweight parking. Then in parking lots, have the half of the parking lot furthest away from the store designated as obese parking. Force them to get at least a tiny bit of extra exercise a day and maybe even embarrass them and convince overweight people to change their lifestyle and lose the weight.
Yes, there are some technical issues that would need worked out such as how to determine if someone is overweight or just very muscular, but its a thought.
