Disabled drivers in the UK have been warned their blue parking badges might not be recognised in many EU destinations popular for British driving holidays. Negotiations with 11 countries including France, Spain, Portugal and Italy about the issue are still ongoing.
There are millions of people in the UK who hold a blue badge which give exemption from some parking restrictions and access to designated parking spaces. They were recognised across the EU until Brexit and the AA has issued a warning over the risk for disabled motorists heading abroad, reports BirminghamLive.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for the AA, said: "To keep blue badge users in limbo is simply unacceptable. Blue badges are issued because of specific health reasons, and to not have their status confirmed two years down the line is simply outrageous.
