Re: car disability tag use when traveling

[Guest guest]

Do you guys know about using handicapped placards when traveling. I live in

Houston but am traveling to Washington state soon. Can I take my placards with

me and just use them in another state?

May I use my disability placard or plate when traveling in other states?

 

Yes, all States must recognize removable disability placards, temporary

disability placards and special license plates which have been issued by

authorities of other states for the purpose of identifying vehicle(s) permitted

to utilize parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities. Although

States must recognize disability placards, temporary disability placards and

special license plates to utilize parking spaces reserved for persons with

disabilities, you may not be entitled to free-metered parking.

I have been able to use them in many states - except Washington DC

I took mine last year to Florida and Key West, Miami Beach and Ft Lauderdale

police all said it was OK to use.

We've even used Jim's CA disability tag in Europe with no problem.

Hi ,

I have Missouri placards and have used them in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas,

Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana,

Ohio, West Virginia, and Washington state (to name a few) without incident. Most

people won't question an out of state handicapped placard.

In Wisconsin we're required to keep the actual proof of disability in our

vehicle, in case there was ever any question. I keep it in the glove

compartment with my van registration. I don't think you'd get a fine in any

state if you had proof like that. I've traveled to other states and have never

had a problem.
