Actually there is indication that he isn’t, since no handicap permit is visible. “Trikes often being ridden by handicap riders” is just anecdotal bullshit that has no bearing on this discussion, idk why you brought it up since it’s literally impossible from this pic to tell if the driver has a handicap or not. Not that it matters since they’re not parked in any spot whatsoever.
Not being able to see the placard is not an indication that one does not exist. It’s just “anecdotal bullshit that has no bearing on this discussion”.
I addressed the possibility of the rider not having a handicap placard very early in this discussion. You are not raising any new issue here. I clearly specified from the start that my argument rested on the assumption that he is permitted to park in handicap spaces.
Again, he is parked in such a way as to maximize the number of accessible spots. Parking the way that you and others have argued he should would result in fewer spots available for other handicap drivers.
Your argument is authoritarian; my argument is utilitarian. Your argument is “do it that way because some painted line said so”; my argument is “do it this way because it is functionally, objectively, and mathematically superior.”
