Blue Badge use in EU

[Merlin of Worcester]

I’m not a Blue Badge user, but those who are, and plan on travelling in the EU, need to read this link

Not that I have one but, I am a bit surprised that more countries do not recognise ours. Clearly it is not a problem to do so, they don’t seem to have got it sorted everywhere or those who need it

Perhaps it’s harder to get one in the ones that don’t recognise ours.

I did a check the other day and its really on France that doesn't recognise the UK invalid card.
Fortunately they seldom charge for parking in France

it is far easier to get a disability pension here than a blue badge.

I’ve parked at lots of places in France where they have accepted my blue badge….

It was of course accepted prior to January this year! Badges had EU flag on them. Now it is up to individual country. Don’t know if UK accepts EU blue badges or not. My new badge has just arrived, minus EU badge. It now has UK writ large three times on it.
one of the advantages of blue badges is accessible parking places, and often allows that extra space that allows the parking of our van, within a single bay, as a result.
