So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.
For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.
Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.
Exactly this happened to my friend who is a quadriplegic, some asshat parked on the striped lines next to her and she couldn’t get in her car because there was no space for the ramp. She posted a great video at the time showing visually why you should never park in the stripes.

So much this.
The hashed out area… that’s what it’s there for- its part of the accessible parking space.

Are you sure it’s legal? Why can’t you just back in if it’s on the wrong side?
Late response: Yes. You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.
Reverse in? Like everyone should basically do anyway?
