The badge can be used in any vehicle in which the applicant is being transported. It is a criminal offence for non-disabled people to use a badge. If they do, they are liable to a fine of up to £1,000. It is a criminal offence to drive a vehicle displaying a Blue Badge unless the badge holder is in the vehicle, or the vehicle is being driven by someone other than the badge holder for the purpose of entering or leaving an area (which is accessible only to vehicles displaying a Blue Badge) in order to pick up or drop off the holder.
