Can the Blue Badge be used without the card-holder in the car?
No the Blue Badge cannot be used without the holder in the car. It must not be used to allow someone to go and collect something for you. When you are not travelling in the vehicle, take the blue badge out so no one else can use it. Misuse of a Blue Badge could incur up to £1,000 fine.
