The answer options
- When driving an adapted vehicle
- When you have an advanced driving certificate
- When you are a wheelchair user
- When you have a blue badgeCorrect
Why that is the answer
Under Highway Code rules, you may only park in a designated disabled parking bay if you display a valid Blue Badge. The Blue Badge scheme helps drivers or passengers with severe mobility issues park closer to their destination. Simply being a wheelchair user or driving an adapted vehicle does not permit you to use these bays without the badge itself. Advanced driving certificates grant no special parking privileges. Always display the badge clearly.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from rules of the road appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
