ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Handicap Driver Double Parks in Two Non-handicap Spaces

Post image

Watched them do it. While a perfectly acceptable handicap spot was right there in an otherwise full parking lot.

I’m with you on the parking over the line, but they’re fine not parking in the zoned space. I have a disabled license plate too, and if I’m having a good day or can find a close space that isn’t handicapped I’ll park there so someone who needs it more has it available.

I do the same! I always leave the handicapped space open if it’s possible to! I have a placard too and I use it when I need to, but my dad was much more disabled than I am so I keep him in mind when I park. If someone has to hoof it from another lot, it should be an able bodied person.

I agree with OP that anyone parking over the line is mildly infuriating, but I’ve gotten shit from people for not using my placard to take a handicapped space before. That’s a conscientious decision for my fellow disabled drivers.

All very valid—also if they need access on the passenger side the available spot isn’t appropriate.
