Those wide spots are needed to open the door all the way so its easier to get in and out.

I've always said they need to have different colors and classifications for parking spots now since they give those placards out so easily.
You are exactly right. I have actually parked in handicapped and someone in a regular space next to me parked so screwed up I couldn't even get into my car. I have to put my wheelchair together by my drivers side door and have to have the door all the way open to do it.
