[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes. (lemmy.world)

I used to walk and take public transportation or bike just about everywhere. Then I became disabled and had to go back to mostly using a car. Even with my mobility disability, I would never, ever park in a bike lane, double park, park in a fire truck zone, etc. If there is no parking close enough to where I'm trying to go? I don't go there. If it's that important, I'll go back another time and try again.

It's not that hard to not be a dick inconveniencing everybody around you.

Hell, just yesterday I had to change my restaurant plans because I wouldn't have been able to walk the distance required to get to the restaurant because there wasn't any parking nearby. Not a big deal.
