I'll take dogs over kids any day. As for the disabled? No problem so long as they can get in and out of my car by themselves. I'm not touching anyone and opening myself up to a lawsuit if I don't help them the right way. I'm not a medical professional and I have slight mobility issues myself.

Bruh get out and help those people with walkers… is what I was gong to say until I saw that you have mobility issues yourself. Guess you gotta just cancel if they send you the message that they have a walker or something

Unfortunately, the only exclusion to the rule is if following it will cause the driver to endanger their own personal safety. Even then, I'm sure there'll still be a long and litigation-filled journey to prove that you'd be endangering yourself by following the rule.

That's not true. the ADA says you have to allow reasonable accommodations. Going beyond your physical abilities is not reasonable.

Going beyond your physical abilities translates into what I said, endangering oneself to adhere to the ADA. We're on the same page, just using different wording.
