I once used a tempotary handi-cap tag due to a legitimate need. It was incredibly frustrating to sometimes get to my office and have to hobble across ice or snow to get in the building because all the spots were filled by people I knew. I was told there was no "good" or even less dangerous way to fall... If you dont have a need for a handicap space please dont use one even if you are operating a vehicle with a legal tag.
On the other side if the coin, my father had a service related permanent disability. Some days he could go quite a ways before needing to sit down and other days less far. It was usualy not obvious that he was legally handi-capped.
I bring up the example of my father to discourage folks from making a judgement and taking any acton on their own. If you believe a handi-cap space is being abused you should report it to the authorities. The cops can investigate the situation and take any action appropriate.
Thank you!
