Agreed - but if there are a limited number of handicapped parking slots, they should be left for those who really need them.
Imagine someone who needs to get from their car into a wheelchair turning up to find that both handicapped spots have been taken. Either they have to find two adjacent empty spots, or risk damaging someone else's car because they have to have their door wide open.
It's one thing to be "politically correct", but please don't tell me that you have NEVER seen anyone abuse those parking places. If you can stroll from your car to the pool, then play water volleyball, you can probably risk parking one row back.
Sorry if I have offended anyone who genuinely needs those parking places.
