So, You've Got a Temporary Tango with Mobility?
Maybe you just recovered from a daring rescue mission that involved leaping over a rogue Roomba (seriously, those things are vicious). Or perhaps you're sporting a new cast that makes walking look like a penguin on roller skates. Whatever the reason, a temporary handicap tag can be your chariot to easier parking.
Here's the gist:
- Temporary tags are valid for up to 180 days (that's six months, folks!), plenty of time to heal from your epic Roomba battle or newfound penguin impression.
- You'll need a completed Disabled Person's Parking Affidavit (Form MV-9D). Think of it as your passport to prime parking spots.
Round Up the Gang (Sort Of)
By "gang," we mean your trusty physician. They'll be the ones to fill out their designated section of the form, basically vouching for your temporary need for a little extra parking space.
