True, and I think I discounted those in my comments :) I'm talking about the type who jump out of the car and walk briskly off, or worse carry a heavy bag off with them. It's generally fairly obvious if someone is unable to walk too far, as they conserve their energy; they don't leap out of the car and hurry off but take their time to make the most of the energy that they do have. The ones who annoy me are those who roar up in a car which you just *know* a disabled or infirm person is highly unlikely to have, leap out with their bag and rush off to the shops, not those that your wife mentioned with no visible disability, but can only manage a hundred yards or so without running out of breath (for example).
