Questioning abuse of parking spaces

(Re: Abuse of Handicapped Parking Spaces is “rampant”, December 11)

And I quote, “Handicapped parking is a basic common sense thing. It is yes or no; black or white. Either you need the space or you do not”.
Question #1: Why would someone “need” a handicapped parking space to merely pick up an able-bodied passenger?
Question #2: Which is worse, using a handicapped space without a valid permit, or having a valid permit, and using a space without a “need”?
Rampant abuse? Indeed!
