The whole concept of hybrid only parking spots is ludicrous. Having the money to buy a hybrid and taking advantage of the various subsidies doesn't make someone a hero worth honoring any more than the thousands of other categories I could think up. Is hybrid driving really on the same level of service to the country as being a veteran? Do hybrid drivers need more affirmation that they have indeed saved the world and are justified in their smugness?
I'm not saying all hybrid owners are smug idiots. I don't actually know any hybrid owners that I would consider smug, but regardless, the perception of many is that they are smug idiots. Special parking doesn't help that perception.
When I own a business, I will reserve a spot for those that have rescued a kitten from a tree and survivors of lightning strikes, for no particular reason.
