Not all physical handicaps are externally visible. The person could have a heart condition or the like. Still, it's possible they were driving a handicapped friend's vehicle. Either way, no real excuse for parking across spots.

My comment is more just to poke fun at the handicap permit on the 8" lifted pick up truck - I understand it is possible it is completely legitimate. I actually specialize in accessibility codes (ADA and Texas Accessibility Standards specifically), and there are a number of requirements that people just don't get because they don't understand that being disabled doesn't necessarily = wheelchair. I believe a hearing impairment is actually sufficient to qualify for a handicap placard in some states.
