So not true. I have a disabled adult child that can’t be left alone on a sidewalk, while I go to get the car. The law says that the disabled person has to be the one exiting the car. All other passengers can remain in the car. In my adult child’s case, she needs someone to wheel her. She also needs space for the ramp to come down to enter & exit the handicapped van.
