    A lot of the people who ride these are actually handicapped themselves. So maybe they have a handicap license plate, but are trying to be considerate of other handicap people by not taking up the entire spot when they only need a little space.

      Still not great though because it would still be blocking access to the stall, effectively blocking the stall anyways.

      The bike parking there for example blocks a wheelchair lift if the vehicle doesnt want to back in.

        It would block it all the same if they parked in the spot. Assuming this person is handicapped themselves they must’ve figured “either I block the entire parking spot for everybody, or I block it only for those that need the loading bay area for a wheelchair lift.”

        I honestly think it’s meant to be courteous and it does work out that way for some if this person’s only alternative is to take up the whole space.

      Mentally handicapped makes a lot more sense because I have never seen one of those things drive normally.
