I am in need of a sign for the back of a adapted vehicle with respect to... 'Please don't park too close, I have to get my wheelchair in." I would like something catchy, witty and eyecatching (and polite please!).

Many thanks.

    i saw in the back of a car a sign and it had words to effect , please allow at least 2 foot behind vehicle as wheelcar access is needed.

    I had one that said pleasse leave room I may be using my wheelchair, but it didn't work, so I made my own up.

    Parking too close stops me putting my wheelchair away,
    It makes me angry...you don't want me angry!

    never had a problem since.

    Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (I turn bright green and my molecules swell up!)

    Seriously, try the Yellow Pages or Yell.com for those places that do signs for vans, custom car decals, numberplates etc. I used to work with a wheelchair-bound lady, who had a sign made up by a local firm. She got so many other disabled people asking her where she got it from that she ended up keeping a load of their business cards in the glovebox!

    If you don't mind parking too close, I don't mind hitting your car with my wheelchair
    Please leave space for wheelchair access at all times :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Ok what about going down the lines of the smaller ones you see

    If you can read this I won't be able to get my wheelchair out, now back off!

    scheming_gypsy here give me a break, trying my best here! Not the easiest one I've ever tried to do!

    **My wheelchair doesn't fold down to the size of a match box, please leave space**

    **We're not towing your car home so please leave some space behind my car**

    **I don't like travelling on the roof, please leave space for me to get the wheelchair IN the car**
