Speaking of which, is driving more difficult for you because you're missing a leg or would you say it's not that bad? I'm really curious. XD Thanks! ^^<p>Despite what you might think if you’ve read <em>The Fault in Our Stars</em>, amputees are not all bad drivers.</p> <p>In fact, I drive an automatic. So it’s really no different driving with one leg than it would be with two.</p> <p>As for whether I use disabled spaces: Generally, I leave them for the truly disabled. But I do have a disabled placard that I can hang from my rear-view mirror to use a disabled spot if A) I’m running late, B) I’m at someplace really crowed like a sporting event, or C) I’m parked illegally, under the hope that the parking cops will be less likely to give me a ticket.</p>http://blog.joshsundquist.com/post/22874185958http://blog.joshsundquist.com/post/22874185958Fri, 11 May 2012 21:31:00 -0400I’ve added an “Ask” feature to my blog.
