Paragraphs 42 to 44
240.These changes follow from the recognition of non-GB disabled persons’ badges − “recognised badges” − under section 9 of the 2005 Act. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (“RTRA 1984”) provides that vehicles displaying British blue badges should not be immobilised (section 105 of RTRA 1984), but that wrongful use of a blue badge or any consequential avoidance of clamping constitutes an offence (sections 105(5) and 117 of RTRA 1984 respectively). These paragraphs insert into RTRA 1984 corresponding provisions in respect of recognised badges.
