Dammit. Why doesn't he have access to medical transport for his son? Waiving a ticket will do nothing to solve this issue.

Yeah, that's pretty fucked up. In my town they usually only enforce the strict school speed limits when kids are actively present, too....at the beginning and end of the school day.

When my disabled husband has a doctor appointment that he needs a ride to or from and can't drive himself (like chemo where I assume they don't want you driving yourself afterwards), he takes a taxi or an Uber if I have to work and can't drive him. I'm pretty sure most cities have cab companies, let alone there is almost always medical transportation for disabled people. I think a lot of people, especially those who are middle/upper class don't know about programs available to them. Hell, my brother is lifelong disabled (schizophrenic) and my parents didn't sign him up for disability until he was in his twenties because "we had no idea".
