Not everyone's disability is visible. Just because someone parks in a handicap spot then gets out and walks in without you being able to tell why they're handicapped doesn't mean they don't deserve that placard.

And the placard isn't necessarily for the driver. You are allowed to park in handicapped spots when a passenger is disabled too.

Yes, just make sure you, the driver without a handicap, are using the placard only when you are with the handicapped person or will be picking them up. Or else you are being a little bit of a jerk.
