When are you allowed to park in a parking bay for disabled drivers?
- A When you have a Blue Badge
- B When you have a wheelchair
- C When you have an advanced driver certificate
- D When you have an adapted vehicle
Why this is the answer
Do not park in a space reserved for disabled people unless you or your passenger are a Blue Badge holder. The badge must be displayed on the dashboard or fascia panel, where it can be clearly read through the front windscreen.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- When you have a wheelchair — Carrying a wheelchair is not the same thing as holding the badge.
- C
- When you have an advanced driver certificate — That has nothing whatever to do with it.
- D
- When you have an adapted vehicle — An adapted vehicle without a badge still may not use the bay.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
