WHAT DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND --PART II

WHAT DON’T THEY GET—PART II ---- Handicap parking spaces...................... Last week my husband and I went out for breakfast to a small diner we've been to many times before. They have two handicap parking spaces in the front separated by a yellow striped walkway that leads to the cut out ramp to get up into the restaurant. Both handicap spots were empty, but a large delivery truck Van was parked on the yellow striped area, making it impossible for me to get my wheelchair out of my Van or open my door, or get my wheelchair up onto the sidewalk and into the restaurant. My husband went into the restaurant and found the truck driver talking to the owner. He asked him to please move his truck. In all fairness the gentleman came out immediately and did move his truck. I made the comment to him that it was very inconsiderate to park there. He looked at me like I was crazy. My husband says that he did not actually park in a handicap spot. He was just trying to make the delivery easier for himself. I don't see that as an excuse. I guess I am over sensitized to this issue. But too many times I have seen a car with handicap plate’s drive up to the supermarket, park in one of he few disabled parking spots, and two or three young able teenagers jump out and literally run into the store. It is obvious that they are driving their parent or grandparents car. This does not give them the right to park in one of those spaces. I know that if I called the police they would probably ticket the offending person, but by the time the police would get there, I am sure that the offending person and car would be gone. The police have better things to do. Am I wrong?
