Disabled Person's Parking Permit Misapplied
Article 43 of S.I. 182/1997 recognises Disabled Person's Parking Permits issued by DDAI/IWA. A vehicle displaying a valid permit is exempt from time limits in pay-and-display zones, may park free in disc zones, and may use disabled bays. The European Parking Card under Council Recommendation 98/376/EC is recognised on a reciprocal basis.
Legal basis
Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 Art. 43-44; Council Recommendation 98/376/EC; Disability Act 2005.
How to identify this in your case
Permit was displayed but warden didn't record it; permit holder was the driver/passenger; non-Irish EU disabled card was rejected.
