    There’s a reason they didn’t make it a spot, so vehicles with wheelchair ramps can actually function. Otherwise there’s not enough room and they’ll be trapped in their vehicle. So considerate.

      Ok. Go look at the image again, and this time, stop and think about it.

      You are driving a vehicle equipped with a ramp on the left side. You certainly can’t pull into this space; your ramp will be blocked by the trike. But, you can still back in to the space, and use the ramp access on the opposite side.

      The alternative is that he takes the whole space, and you don’t have a handicap space accessible to you at all.

      And you are telling me that it is preferable for him to simply take the entire space he is entitled to take, rather than leave enough room for you to park as well?

      Are you serious right now?

        How do you know they’re “entitled” to a handicap spot? There’s no proof anywhere that the driver is eligible for handicap parking.

          There is no indication that he isn’t. Trikes are often ridden by handicapped riders.

          If he isn’t entitled to a spot, that’s another issue.
