And BTW, for the record, I think the author is intentionally blowing this out of proportion to make the point, but the point is still valid so I’ll say it again: when someone pulls into an H-space and has the credentials they should be left alone. No one has the information to decide that the person is not using that space validly, nor do they have the right to quiz that person to find out. It is a simple matter of civility.

And let’s be realistic… if you say something to anyone churlish enough to abuse an HC sticker they will not be nonplussed; they will ignore you. I have yet to say something to a person WITHOUT an HC tag or hanger and have them actually move their car; they usually tell me I'm number 1 in their book and continue to jog into the store.

So then, in the case where credentials are there – three options 1) offend wrongly, 2) be ignored by a jacka$$, or 3) stay silent. Seems like an easy choice to me.

I must take polite exception to that part of your otherwise excellent statement. I have the right to ask anyone anything, and anyone has the right to answer or to ignore me or to be as rude as they like. (And frankly, the ruder the better, since it would have been rude of me to question them.)

My asking may carry consequences of which I'm not fond, and I have to bear those consequences if I make the choice to ask . . . but I do have the right.
