Clampdown on the phoney disabled
22 Apr 2008
Police are to check cars displaying disabled signs to ensure they are genuine.
Anyone caught with a fake Blue Badge in Wiltshire, or using a real one when they do not need one, could be fined up to £1,000.
The checks will be starting in Chippenham shortly. Blue Badge holders are exempt from limits on parking times imposed on others and can park on single and double yellow lines.
