Possible stupid question: What is the appeal of those three-wheeled motorcycles anyway?
All the safety of a motorcycle with the maneuverability of a car.
This guy /s
I know a couple of guys with them, often its older guys with back, hip or knee issues.
So you could be handicapped and riding one of those is what I think I am reading?
That didnt even cross my mind but, yeah that could actually be the case and they parked over to one side to leave room deliberately.
Indeed... Nothing in the image proves to us that the person riding this isn't actually disabled... quite the opposite honestly. Hell I'd even make a case that they missed the handi-spot completely and they're driving a motorcycle... they're probably mentally disabled but that might be doing an injustice to those who are also disabled but recognize road markings and their meanings.
Or... they parked over to one side to keep the other side of the space open for someone in a small car who is also disabled.
By blocking the driver door on the non handi spot and the passenger on the handi spot? Yeah no. Just follow the rules. There's a point to having universal rules.
I ride motorcycles. When I get too old I'll be riding one of those with my oxygen tank strapped to it.
A lot of times they're used by disabled people who can't ride traditional motorcycles.
Where I live you can drive these with a regular car drivers license, because they are technically considered cars according to the law. So you save money and time not getting a motor cycle license. But that probably doesn't apply to the US.
In the US, it depends on motor size and a few other things. Also varies by state. But that's often true.

A motorcycle is: "a motor vehicle with motive power having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with ground"
I think they count as standard motorcycles in the U.S.
I can't speak for everywhere, but in Texas you have to have an M class license (motorcycle endorsement) in order to ride one legally.
I've ridden one before. They're fun, but I'm happier with my car.
I dislike bikes but my guess is it's more stable than a 2 wheel bike, slightly safer death trap.
They're just giant mobility scooters.
