Blue Badge rules every holder should know to avoid a parking fine over Christmas and New Year

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Blue Badge holders in Scotland receive an accompanying booklet from Transport Scotland when they receive their permit for the first time or a renewal.

The ‘rights and responsibilities of a Blue Badge holder in Scotland’ guide contains essential tips on usage and parking to ensure people use the permit within the parameters of the scheme - and don’t end up with a £1,000 fine.

However, many of the 235,700 Blue Badge holders in Scotland may not have kept this booklet which includes 16 need-to-knows they may not be aware of, whether they are new to the scheme or been a permit holder for a number of years.

This could be invaluable over the festive period when roads are busier as people hit the high street or visit family and friends.
