If you park in a handicapped spot, Please have a hangtag or license plate that says so..... I see many without either in a handicapped spot. It's not fair to somebody that really needs that spot.

Up close yes, but not occupying a handicap spot. These are for drivers who are handicapped only.

Mind your own business. Those plates and stickers are given out by the state for a reason. Sounds like you’re mad because you didn’t get there first or you don’t have one. Get over it.

Do not judge a book by its cover... let me say, my wife and I are both handicapped (heart issues) and we both have Handicap Tags. To look at us one would not know. Some days are better than others. Many times she will set in the car when I go in. Sometimes, I may walk in and use the electric carts to come back out. Some handicap parking spots are so far away, they are useless. Believe me, when I see Non handicap spot close to the Handicap spot I ALWAYS take the non handicap spot. I guess what I am saying, there a many people that abuse Handicap spots but, we can not know who or what the handicap is.

How about we put the same attention on speeding, stop signs and school zone laws/rules!!

You hit the nail on the head... Courteous thing to do! Some people feel a sense of entitlement. Unbelievable.

I agree. OP has no right to have confronted that man. Stop being such a busy body. Mind your own business.

Ahhhhh. Bless your little heart. You still believe in Santa Claus 🧑*🎄 I see.

Toot your horn, to let them know to move on?
The best solution to disabled parking space abuse I have encountered was in Davenport Iowa. Someone affixed kindly reminder notes to violator’s windshields. These were printed on two foot square sticky paper stock. By the time the violator s were able to scrape the reminder off, they had lost any convenience they had acquired by way of their violation.

Handicapped parking
 

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.

TOO QUICK TO JUDGE--: Thank goodness you kept this to yourself.
 

My husband has dementia and Parkinson's. I leave him in the car while I do the shopping because I need to be quick to get back to him, and I have him close enough I can keep an eye on him. I went thru this with my mother years ago--she would either get out and walk away or bang on the window for passerbys to let her out if the door was locked, the would think she was in distress and try to jimmy the door.
It sucks being sick, it sucks having to watch out for dangers to one we love who isn't in their right mind anymore.

If a person has a disabled parking placard it can be used on any car that they are traveling in, whether it is their own car or somebody else's. In this sense, a placard is registered to a person and not to a vehicle. License plates are different because they cannot be removed.

So the way I read this article, it does not say if the person parking in The spot has a handicap sticker or not if they do, he has every right to be there. There is no law that you have to park there an exit your vehicle in a certain amount of time. However, It might be rude to park there and not leave it open for somebody else to go to the store.
I also learned something a while back ago just got somebody hops out of a vehicle and doesn’t appear to have a physical injury. Does not mean they do not have a medical condition.
On another note, how about the people who just park in the middle of the road with their flashers on.
Expecting people to drive around them

There has to be a record of a diagnosis by the doctor to receive a disabled placard. Why would a doctor risk their license to practice by signing a form that is a lie ?

90% Of the people here should not have a permit. I could have gotten a permit, and have a brother in a Wheelchair he is truly disabled. And when he comes here to visit and we go out, We can’t get a spot to park, Because the “OTHER DISABLED PERSON HAD TO “RUN” INTO THE STORE. And you all have seen them.. PLUS. The holder of the permit is NOT in the car, someone else is using it!!
It’s all Bull $hit.
