I know the lady with the Camry - nice lady. She doesn't get around great, but her biggest problem is she isn't good at driving. I have no beef with her. I hate parking where that Camry is because I have to back into that spot, and I suck at backing into parking spaces.
In that particular parking lot, the two spaces to the left of the ramp are also handicapped spots. I usually try to park in the space to the left of the ramp.
I think that people that are confined to a wheelchair, paralyzed, MS, Lupus...... should get a different handicapped sticker then the rest, like an orange one. I am paralyzed and drive a modded van. If people like myself had a different sticker and spot then life would be tons easier. I think the whole handicapped parking system needs to be revamped. I think the reg blue stickers should be for all NON wheelchair handicapped people.
Vans and other people in chairs can park in the orange spots, all the others, including the young idiots who think its cool to use grandmas "pass". I know you say people will do this or that, it won't work. However I think its way better then what we have, and from my perspective it works.
PS - Losing my ability to walk was my low point, however if I ever get that ability back then I am parking in the BACK of the lot and getting my walk on, people don't know how good they have it until its gone.

That's for damned sure. I was at Walmart last week and it was raining. As I was jogging to the parking lot, an SUV pulled into a handicapped spot and a woman got out and took off running toward the door. I looked and she had a handicapped tag hanging from her mirror. The way she ran to keep from getting wet made me wonder what kind of handicap she could have to warrant parking in that spot. Pissed me off.
The aisle is part of the accessible parking space. It is meant to serve the vehicle parked there. Technically, 30" should be left clear out of courtesy to anyone else requiring an accessible path who may want to use the curb cut. The only person doing anything that could be cited is the Rav.
