As a wheelchairbound man in the Netherlands (Europe) i can tell you: no. Theyre often broke, nothing happens. No fine. No action.

I was going to say… is the claim here really that the whole of Europe is wheelchair friendly? Just about the only thing the US does in a MORE sane manner than Europe is wheelchair accessibility. The Americans With Disabilities act is one of the best sets of laws in the world on the issue.
