No, never parked in a handicap space.  What really bugs me are the people who aren't handicap, but are using someone else's car (who has the tag/sticker/etc.) to park in a handicap space.  At least the ones without the sticker that park there aren't lying to use the spot, just taking a chance.

No I would never park in handicap parking.  My Mom was terminally ill and had the license plate and I would drive her to an appointment or something and get so mad because I couldnt get her close because people would park in them without stickers or plates.   I would have to go in and get a nurse and we would get her in and then I would have to park then come in a find her.  People need to be considerate because they are there for a special reason not everyones convenience.

The only time I've ever used a handicapped space is when my fiancee was on crutches with limited weight-bearing awhile back.

I have a handicap tag and use it when I am alone.  When I am with my kids, they usually drop me off a the entrance and then park elsewhere.

I don't and never have. They are designated there for people that need to be close to the store or office they are going to. However some people who consider obesity a handicap, I think they should't get front row parking. No offense, but they could use the walk.

No I've never done that... But my friend tried once, he said it would be only for a few seconds, but I told him. "o my gosh if you do that I swear to you I will call the cops and make them give you a big fat TICKET!!" so he went and park in another parking spot,  :P but hey I'm a person that tries to respect the law as much as possible and that handicap parking was no for him... I should be a cop huh? :D

I never do it because the fine here in CA is just way too high. I see some people doing it at the library just to return books. There's almost always another spot so it doesn't really bother me that much even though there are regular spaces that are only a few more steps away.
