The driver doesn't have to prove anything. My mom got a handicap card when she had a stroke and lost her peripheral vision, balance, and ability to focus her eyes. The driver was her aide, who took her to the doctor's office and grocery shopping, with a transport chair kept in the back. My dad is also unable to move around (he's now unable to leave the house without medical transport or a hydraulic lift into his wheelchair for a "walk" around the block), but when he was able to sit in the car, his aide would drive him to and from. Any kind of walking more than a few hundred feet would exhaust him and we'd have to turn around and go home. But he was able to walk with a walker, for that few hundred feet. In other words - from a handicap spot, to the table in the restaurant.
He hasn't been able to drive for almost 6 years, so no - the DRIVER wouldn't prove a thing.
