I used to work with a Vietnam vet that had his leg blown off and he rode a Harley with whatever you control with your left foot somehow relocated. He told good stories about being part of a tank crew and ordered flaming shots at the bar, fun guy to talk to.
Just saying, don’t assume.
Then park IN the handicap spot. Not blocking the handicap spot's ramp access.
So, he parks in the space, and he blocks any other handicapped vehicle, regardless of whether it needs ramp access or not.
Or, he parks there, and he only blocks vehicles that need ramp access on the side AND can't back into the space to use the ramp access on the other side.
The way you want him to park, he is definitely blocking a space. The way he is actually parked, he is probably not blocking any spaces.
Whether in the space or beside it, two more vehicles with side ramps can still park in those three spaces. Beside it, there is room for a fourth vehicle without a side ramp.
The only way this guy is an asshokenisnifnhe isn't actually handicapped, but being that he is on a trike, there is a good chance that he is.
Left foot is gear shifter. It's an up/down button. Easy to relocate.
But who the fuck cares? Vet, hero, dog-savior. Don't park like a fucking asshole. Park in an actual spot or don't park there at all. In this image's case they are potentially blocking 2 spots, at least 1 handicapped. I hope he got 2 $500 tickets.
Yeah that’s fair. Tbh this is probably just a able bodied jackass, just throwing an alternate viewpoint out there.
It looks like there are 3 marked handicapped spaces. He is entitled to 1, leaving two, both with side ramp access.
The way he is parked, there is still room for two vehicles with side ramps,, both using the other, marked ramp space (one pulling in, the other backing in). And there is still an empty, presumably marked space on the other side of him. It isn't accessible to a vehicle with a side ramp, but the overwhelming majority of handicapped vehicles don't need or have them.
You want him to leave room for two other handicapped vehicles. He parked in a way to leave room for 3 other handicapped vehicles. And for that, you're going to call him a fucking asshole?
I think your sphincter is cutting off the blood supply to your brain. You might want to address that.
Weird hill to die on.
Other than the both having motor vehicles, how does that story relate to this picture at all?
The relationship is "you can ride a motorcycle (or tricycle in this case) and also be disabled, thereby being eligible to park there."
It's a motor vehicles parked where one is not allowed to be parked, what does disability have to do with any of this?
I think what you're getting at is "disabled or not, parking on the painted margin is prohibited," which is correct as far as I know, but I think most people would think about it differently if the driver was disabled.
e.g. Someone with difficulty walking wanted to exercise their permission to park there so that they could be closer to the entrance, but still wanted to leave a wide spot open so another disabled driver could potentially use it. Still wrong, but many people would perceive that differently.
Again, not defending the behavior (and the driver likely wasn't disabled, just a jerk)... But surely you see how their disability status is relevant in a scenario concerning a disabled parking spot?
No, it's not relevant at all. It's not a parking spot, handicap or otherwise. You just can't park there, no one can.
"Der, there are three spaces. How dare he park in such a way that 4 vehicles can fit in them?!?" -- you, probably.
I think you're using the word "relevant" in an overly restrictive way. It can be relevant but still not justify the park job.
