{never understood why the badge entitled you to free parking - unless it's to encourage use of car parks rather than street parking)

Hi Twooks.... I believe that blue badge holders are except from on street & some car park charges (depending on land owners & local authority rules) because when you have a severe disablility you don't have the option of parking free further from town and walking to your destination & it's very hard to carry items that you have just purchased to a cheaper more remote car park, as you may have balance problems, sticks, crutches or wheels to grasp.

Yes, Dartford Tunnel allow us to go through free in our car (which we use the tax exemption for) but not in our MH, so we have to pay for that. 

Severn Bridge is done on the Blue Badge, so is free in whatever vehicle we are in, so long as I have my Blue Badge with me.

thanks for such informative stuff

amazed about the toll road pass- just about to try and get 1 sorted.  unfortunately sometimes i use my campervan and sometimes i use my car so i'm just going to have to use the camper more in the future!

i'm only a young one with one of these blue badges and you should see the looks i get off some people- they must think i'm using my nan's pass....still, i know i'm in the right so they can stare as much as they want

thanks again

You could get a pass for both vehicles for M6T

£15 ----its gone up

I paid £5 last year but true enough its now £15 but well worth it if you go more than twice with the caravan.

Came back on it yesterday
