On the bad days she righty uses her handicap.

Sure it gets abused, and that is a problem. All I have to say is there is someone always thinking they are better than everyone else and will put themselves above everyone no matter what. I don't hear people complain about those who park right in front of the store clearly marked no parking and run inside to "grab something", all the while pedestrians and cars have to negotiate around them.
People using a handicap spot, we never question it as you never know. If you're using it illegally you a lazy inconsiderate bum. I think handicap people get abused by people more then someone abusing the privilege.
