Trikes are usually ridden by older people anyways so it's possible this person actually is legally handicapped and didn't want to take up the whole spot since they have a smaller vehicle.

They were probably attempting to be courteous here, not an asshole.

    Doubt it. Surely anyone legally handicapped knows to stay clear of the loading/ramp area of a handicapped spot

    As opposed to taking up the whole spot? If you need the loading ramp you could still use the spot and just reverse if it's on the side he's taking up.

    Would you prefer he take the entire spot which his trike? Instead of potentially still letting someone park there? He's taking up less space this way.

    Well then the handicap person can just find another spot that doesn't have a tricycle parked beside it /s. "The handicap person needs to work around this tricycle driver" is totally opposite of accessibility.

    So you'd prefer the handicapped individual to have no parking spot because the trike parked dead center in a spot they don't need the space for, rather than them having to reverse to get the ramp on the correct side?

    "/s" means sarcasm. I want everyone that doesn't have a handicapped tag to park as far away as possible from the handicap designated parking spot.

    God you're fucking dense. This entire comment chain is predicated on the idea that the trike is ridden by a handicapped individual.

    Know why? Because they're almost exclusively ridden by people who USED TO ride motorcycles but can't BECAUSE THEYRE HANDICAPPED.

    How does the handicap driver get out of their car with this "courteous biker" parked there?

    Who knows, the most likely handicapped trike driver should have just parked dead center so that nunces like you would bitch about that instead.

    If you need the loading ramp you could still use the spot and just reverse if it’s on the side he’s taking up.

    Not if you can't get into the vehicle in order to reverse it. There's a reason they have protected width on both sides.

    Like... at home? Before you come to the store?
