I'll try to explain it again. First if a person that isn't handicapped chooses not to park in a Handicapped place, even though driving a handicapped persons car, all power to them and good for them, that should be the case.
For those that are handicapped then they usually have the best places closest to the doors and access, which should be the case. They have a right and need to be closest to access points and I'm glad the law protects this. People that infringe on their parking, that aren't handicapped, should pay a steep fine to protect these places.
With the fact that there are usually handicapped places open, more than one or two usually, when a person that has a legitimate right to park in a handicapped place chooses to take literally an open spot directly across from an open handicapped spot then what is the logic in that, if they are truly handicapped that is? The law provides spaces for people with this status, as should be , and will fine a person that parks in the handicapped place, as should be. It's not a case of inconveniencing me but everyone else. It is almost exactly like taking two parking places for one person.
Maybe the person isn't thinking about it, I don't know, but I'm just saying when I see that happen, few times that it is, I consider it INCONSIDERATE of everyone else ,because, they have the legal ability to occupy a special place but instead take the place of another citizen who cannot park wherever they choose.
A reverse way of looking at it is take handicapped equipped stalls in restrooms. They aren't protected, by law so, going in to the restroom, anyone can choose whichever stall/place is open. Say there are just two stalls, both of them open, and a non-handicapped person chooses the Handicapped stall (maybe it's bigger, I don't know) and along comes a person in a wheelchair. They have to wait when if the other person had been courteous, even though they had the ability to choose both open places, they chose the only one that the other person could possibly use. Maybe my point wasn't made by that illustration but hopefully some will understand what I was saying. I shop so little that it has little effect on me but I have seen the parking situation happen, as I was walking in the store, and thought of it as an inconsiderate action on the part of the handicapped person. In that particular case the person WAS handicapped and used a walker so it wasn't (in this case) a situation where a person borrowed their handicapped father/mother's car. I just consider it an inconsiderate action is all I'm saying.
