I've been informed by an expert on Oregon Revised Statutes (my wife, who
used to be in the legislature) that I've held the wrong idea. It seems you
and the others are right about this; people transporting the handicapped and
have plates or placards are allowed to use those handicap spots.

Hey, I don't mind admitting I made a mistake This doesn't alter the
fact that abuses do occur. It's those abuses I'm addressing.
