Our company did a comprehensive research study on accessibility for the city council this year. What struck me most at the focus groups was that most of the disabled people found building access tolerable but the main problem was THEY HAD TO GET THERE FIRST!

This included, for those that drove cars, the ability to park close enough and have space for disability aids, wheelchairs etc.

I doubt whether able bodied people can understand the amount of planning and preparation that goes into something as simple as a shopping trip for a disabled person. Many of them put off trips anywhere because of the difficulties involved.

All I can say to those who use disabled spots just because it is more convenient for them, YOU SELFISH BASTARDS.
