In our neighborhood, there is a sign saying “I will not stop at any time without valid permission”. If a certain percentage of the city’s residents agree and pay the fee, the city will issue a residential parking permit. Well, there is a car parked here every day with a handicap placard. The vehicle does not belong to anyone living in the area (thus he or she does not have a residential parking permit). Drivers were seen walking in or from the road to where they lived. Is it legal to use a handicap placard like this?
- B. Cagle, Santa Anna
NS. Maybe.
State law allows a person with a valid disabled license plate or placard to park under conditions that no one else can.
And this is one of those examples when placards are used properly, he said. Cpl.Sonia Rojo, Santa Ana Police Spokesperson. She added that if someone believes the handicap qualification is invalid, call Santa Anna PD over a non-urgent line and have a transportation officer check it if possible.
There are a myriad of obstacles that justify privilege, and it can be difficult to visually determine whether a person should enjoy it. Medical professionals need to approve drivers or passengers who obtain such plates and placards. There are restrictions to ensure that people with disabilities are benefiting from plates or placards.
If you are allowed to park in a disabled parking space and your residence permit is valid, a person with proper use of a plate or placard can:
- Unlike others, park next to the blue curb.
- Park as much as you need next to the green curb with a time limit.
- You can park your car for free on public roads with metered parking.
NS. Hongk, I need your dad’s advice. A few weeks ago, I received a new registration sticker by mail and put it on the truck the same day. The problem is … the sticker was for my Chevrolet Corvair. Not my Chevrolet Rack. Oops. Trying to remove the sticker will ruin it. I don’t want to claim that I’ve never got a sticker in the hope that it can be exchanged for free. Also, I don’t want to waste police time by having to create a traffic stop and my valid registration. I also don’t want to replace the truck plate with my car and go to a car show. I know you, like me, are laughing about my mistakes. I hope you can help me.

NS. Hongk is laughing with you - not you. A few weeks ago he was worried that he might have made the same mistake while caring for the fleet.
He popped up your question at the headquarters of the Sacramento Automobile Bureau and was told that you need to fork over $ 23 to get a replacement registration sticker.
Greg, you can do it online on the official website, dmv.ca.gov - Don’t worry about private companies charging extra. Alternatively, if you are a member, you can pass through the Southern California Automobile Club.
You can also access the DMV kiosk for such tasks. There are several grocery stores in the place where you can find one. For locations, search for “kiosks” on the DMV website or on Google’s “DMV Kiosk.” The machine will spit out your new sticker.
Interestingly, Greg, each registration sticker has a unique number that can be “identified by the car.” Tino Olivera, An officer and spokesperson based at the Santa Anna station building on the California Highway Patrol.
