You have to wonder why they would allow a car parked at the exit from a turn in the worse possible place. Probably because the car had a disabled sticker and the law allows them to virtually park anywhere they want.

I cleaned by car out of everything - including the disabled sticker which I have to change over to the new car. The problem is that because of this damned anti-seizure medication I can't remember where I put the paperwork.

The only reason I registered as handicapped is because I don't have any balance from the medication and couldn't possibly pass a drunk test. So they would have to use one of those blow-into devices.

You have no balance, and ride a bicycle? I am aware that bicycles are self balancing once up to speed, but I think it still requires the rider to have some natural balance.

Well, the riders might be professional. The organizers are strictly
amateur.

Your slow speed balance on a bike is almost entirely with vision. I can't ride with my hands off of the bars anymore but can ride normally otherwise.

I don't have any balance not so much because I don't have balance but because the medication makes the front half of both feet numb and I can't tell if I'm countering a fall with pressure via feet.

I absolutely cannot stand and hold my head back. I cannot stand on one leg. In the dark I have to put a hand on the wall to remain upright. A cop will let you fall down and crack your skull and I've had enough concussions thank you.
