For those of us who drive a road tax exempt disability vehicle and this will no longer be shown due to the abolition of tax discs you may find this useful. |

There was a proposal to issue TEVs with a disk showing a QRCode which the traffic warden could scan. Those with an exempt car would have had access to a .gov web site and printed out the QRCode. This sensible proposal has got stuck on the issues of cost, both for issuing the QRCode and more importantly the scanners. The LAs refuse to pay as does DVLA. |

Some LA car parks do allow free parking but ONLY to tax exempt vehicles also displaying a blue badge. Those with just a blue badge have to pay! |

Blue badges and tax exempt are not the same thing. There are other categories of tax exempt as well as disabled - old cars for instance. |

so are not all disabled vehicles tax exempt? or is there a reduced rate? or what? |

I don't know to be honest.......mine is a motorbility car so is tax exempt from registration. I guess owners who become disabled have to apply for the exemption. |

Councils cannot charge tax exempt vehicles for parking whether the blue badge holder is present or not. Full point. So yes an able bodied person ends up with free parking ( though not on a disabled space ) where the reason for the exemption is disabled. The old disks used to make this clear. |

It would be a waste for me to have a car on mobility, I dont go anywhere. Have only had 4 new tyres and a new window motor in the 5 years I have had the car.....so not expensive to keep |
