So how is it selfish to achieve the same result on a temporary basis?

I'll turn the question round - how is it not selfish?

I was considering the OP's action in context... it's the car park owner/operator who is being greedy/selfish by not providing an accessible space because in return it gets the revenue from two bays. For one short period it's been deprived of the revenue from the second bay that, in theory at least, shouldn't be there.

I didn't claim the OP was morally right, personally I'd have run the car park operator and asked what they suggested - I'd quite possibly have paid for both spaces.

If you're a wheelchair user, and you cannot get out of your car with the door only half open because you need to, say, get your chair out of the car, then HOW on earth is it selfish to park in two spaces? Would you have preferred for them to have had to have gone home because they were unable to get their chair out of the car? Silly question, of course you would, cos then they wouldn't have been being selfish...

I'm currently learning to drive and when I'm able to and am independent there'll be times I'll have to go home if I can't get a disabled bay as I won't be able to get round my car to get to my chair in the boot without using both crutches, which you can't do in a normal bay.

Don't judge people as "selfish" without knowing their circumstances, wanting to get out to go shopping isn't selfish in my opinion!

I am a full time wheelie who cant weight bear or stand at all and if you cant park you wait and you do go home Invasion when you cant park or wait till a dis bay becames empty, if the bays arnt in the local autority control they arnt enforcable and even when they are in private hands I dont take up two bays unless there is a tiny corner that no one ever uses because it make every single BB holder being arrogant and thats what everyone thinks anyway.

My walking disabilities started from my accident when I started to learn to walk again on a walking frame, I improveded to elbow crutches and started using a wheelchair part time, then full time wheelie to powerchair full time wheelie and I have been a driver from the crutches stage onwards (had to relearn with hand controls)
