OK, an ethical question of sorts for y’all.\n
I have a friend who has a disabled placard for her car; she can walk, but her joints are bad and painful, and she has chosen to minimize her walking. I have borrowed the car for the day, as I do fairly frequently. Of course, I don’t park in the spaces reserved for handicapped people, because I can walk just fine. Usually when I am borrowing the car, she is babysitting the Youngest Member, so I just park in our driveway.\n
Tonight, we are meeting in a public place, that is, a place with a parking lot and handicapped spaces. When she drives there, she parks in the handicapped area; the person giving her a ride will probably drop her at the door. I could, legally and legitimately, park her car in the handicapped space, and when we come out to the car, there it is. I could also, legally and legitimately, park her car in the other end of the lot, and then when we come out to the car, I could go and get it and bring it around to the door. It would be a little awkward, and might well involve blocking a bit of traffic while we are switching drivers, but still, very doable.\n
On the other hand, easier for me to just stash the car in the handicapped space.\n
What do you think? Is there a general principle involved? Or does it all depend on the weather?\n
