For the umpteenth time: This applies to anyone without access to their own car. There is nothing for the ADA to protect against here, as it is not specifically/exclusively affecting a protected class.

And that’s just it. The presumption of unequal access to a car. The drive thru isn’t for anyone with sight; its for anyone with access to a car, either as a driver or passenger. Thanks in large part to the ADA, the plaintiff has the same access to public transportation as everyone, including Uber and taxis. He does…

That’s my point! The fact the able-bodied are EQUALLY affected by the hours is why there is no issue with public accommodations.

The disabled are no more disadvantaged than any other person without a car in this circumstance. The lawsuit claims the disabled are not granted the same access to McD as others, but that is completely false. The disabled have the same access as anyone else without a car.

It’s done pretty frequently, by those in the know (people in the legal field and/or revolving-door degenerates). Depending on how close to the limit you are, and how long it takes a department to get you through the booking process, your BAC could be too diluted to count against you. In many cities, it takes hours to…

As I understand it, the suit claims McD is discriminating against the disabled, because McD supposedly does not provide the same access of late night meals to the disabled as they do the able-bodied (via the drive-thru).

If that were true, pleading the fifth would be an admission of guilt.

I don’t see how it is the same. The banks needed to find a way to provide ATM access to everyone equally. Until you came up with the headphone solution, those without sight (or the motivation to learn to read braille) did not have the same access as those with sight.

LJ909 must also be protected by the ADA.

Listing additional disabilities doesn’t support the argument that McD is discriminating against the disabled. There are more able-bodied people affected by the drive-thru hours than there are disabled people. Therefore, it is not discriminating against the disabled, but rather it affects anyone and everyone without…

As many have pointed out, the limited drive-thru-only hours affect a lot more people than just the disabled: anyone who chooses not to drive, cannot afford a car, cannot pass the driving test, drunks, people uncomfortable driving after dark, and a million other examples. All of these people can AND DO use an…

That’s redundant. Mustangs are truck-sized. I wouldn’t be surprised if savethemanuals had to shrink the Mustang image down to Tundra size for this pic.

That’s a great accomplishment- congrats- but it is nothing like this lawsuit.

McD’s lawyers will probably submit for (and be granted) a motion for dismissal before it ever gets that far.

You don’t need an electric bike to avoid the train; you can get a nice ICE bike for a few grand. Join the dark side!

How would a reverse be useful on a bicycle?

...as nonsensical as that sounds...

Yeah. All VW and Audi have this.

How young are you, that you remember liking 2008 models as a kid?

Hmm, then maybe you shouldn’t be so pedantic toward others about quattro, as a trademark, not being capitalized. ;-)
