I don't care so much if someone rents one to be lazy, that's their choice, but are you allowed to ride anything drunk legally? I know you can get in trouble on a bike.
I was at Disney last year and a couple, maybe in their 50's, had both rented scooters to get around. I saw them twice - once sitting next to me in a nice restaurant with scooters presumably outside. They got out of their seats for the bathroom easily without assistance - no sign of any handicap at all. The next time I see them they show up for the Disney bus when there is a super long line of which I am near the front, having been waiting. They got to ride up and go straight on the bus but it took so long for them to maneuver the wheelchair apparatus that another bus came before they were on.
I am upset at myself for not saying anything but I was afraid people might think I was wrong. If they want to use scooters fine, but if they want special handicap treatment shouldn't they have proof that they are handicapped? It is a shame anyone would actually abuse handicap "privileges". I'm sure any handicapped person would gladly give up a front parking spot for a chance to not be handicapped.
