The problem with public shaming in this case is that not all disabilities are visible. There are times when people who are mobile still deserve to use a handicap parking spot (some cases of chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and PTSD come to mind). Or maybe he had just finished dropping off a passenger who needed the handicap access.
If you have a legitimate disability in the US, you can and should get a special permit (hanging on the rear view mirror or other type) -- I imagine the same is true there as well. If you don't have the permit, don't use the spot.

ReplyDeleteWell deserved, but ultimate caused a much greater hazard by causing him to drive off unsafely in a vehicle with very limited visibility.
