> > According to the California DMV website, you have to have some sort of handicapping condition: lung disease, cardiovascular disease, a condition that restrains full use of your legs (or even disables use altogether), loss of use of both hands, or practical legal blindness (20/200 or worse in the better eye with corrective lenses).

Whaaaat? You can be LEGALLY BLIND and still be driving a car which you need to park closer to the shops because otherwise you can't find your way to them? Man, I am NEVER driving where you come from.
