Reply to comment by Aaaaaaandyy in NJ MVC Disability Placard question by [deleted]

People could be disabled for many reasons, but disability parking spots were created to allow specifically limited mobility. I am curious about how heart surgery limits a person to walking an extra dozen yards.

I’m not a doctor, but physical activity (even walking) puts a strain on your heart.

The application for the placard specifically list cardiac and neurological conditions. It also lists the inability to walk more than 200 ft without stopping to rest, includes lung diseases and sight impairment. Most of these are 'invisible' disabilities. They impair mobility, you just can't see it. A quick look at the dmv website will clear up your misconceptions.
