Handicap parking spots
What do you do when there are no handicap parking spots available for your side entry van? Do you sometimes have to have your driver drop you off near the front of the establishment? Have you ever encountered a able-bodied person without a placard that parked in a handicap parking spot? Did you approach them and advised them that their action is illegal?

This is a tough topic. People need be considerate of others. First, no one should be parking in these spots without placard and proper identification. Also, because you have a placard doesn’t mean you can pull into spot and have someone get out while you wait. Also, my opinion, being considerate means assessing your own needs and using what’s needed. I have a disabled placard. I don’t always use it. I am not in a wheelchair and I mostly need this accommodation for winter snow and ice season in Chicago or when I need a curb-less entry and there are plenty of spaces available for others with disability. If I see spaces are limited and regular parking is not to far, I often park further away and make sure I walk to the spot of the disabled parking space where I know there is curb-less entry.
