An urgent warning has been given to disabled drivers ahead of summer holidays. It comes as UK drivers have been warned that their blue badges may not be valid whilst travelling in Europe.
The rules have now changed due to Brexit as ministers are still negotiating the status of blue badges with 11 countries. UK blue badges were recognised across all EU states but this has now changed.
Manchester Evening News reports that disabled drivers could use their badges in France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal. This rule stopped on December 21, 2020 as the EU transition period ended.
