          That didnt even cross my mind but, yeah that could actually be the case and they parked over to one side to leave room deliberately.

          Indeed… Nothing in the image proves to us that the person riding this isn’t actually disabled… quite the opposite honestly. Hell I’d even make a case that they missed the handi-spot completely and they’re driving a motorcycle… they’re probably mentally disabled but that might be doing an injustice to those who are also disabled but recognize road markings and their meanings.

            Or… they parked over to one side to keep the other side of the space open for someone in a small car who is also disabled.

              By blocking the driver door on the non handi spot and the passenger on the handi spot? Yeah no. Just follow the rules. There’s a point to having universal rules.

        I ride motorcycles. When I get too old I’ll be riding one of those with my oxygen tank strapped to it.
