Why You Might Need Two Placards
- The Roommate Rhapsody: You and your bestie with a disability share a place (and maybe a questionable taste in reality TV). Sharing a placard? Not so much.
- The Weekend Warrior: You've got a trusty minivan for errands, but on weekends, you take your classic muscle car for a spin. Two placards ensure both vehicles get a VIP parking spot.
- The Significant Other Shuffle: Your partner might be the designated driver sometimes, but who wants to explain the missing placard to the parking patrol officer? A second placard is a marital bliss-saver (and ticket-avoider).
Important Note: Don't even think about getting a second placard for your able-bodied Aunt Mildred who "just has bad knees sometimes." That's a recipe for trouble (and a hefty fine).
