I have terminal lung cancer (asbestos-related, unfortunately; no cure) and, as you can see, I have a Disability Parking pass on the vehicle. I have difficulty breathing and get short of breath. I m currently undergoing my second course of chemotherapy in two years, more as a palliative measure than as a cure . I parked at one of the bottom disability car parks on April 4, 2021 (Easter Sunday) at St Lukes Shopping Centre, Auckland, went for a walk and came back to find a serviette under the wiper with the words Disability parking! . The sheer ignorance of the person who put that there that they either couldn t be bothered looking further than their noses to see the disability parking pass or that they assumed that all of us disabled drivers must drive a small vehicle. It made my blood boil.
