The Accessible Parking Permit…?
- Gives everyone in your family the right to park in a designated disabled parking space
- Allows parking in designated space even if the person with the disability is a not passenger
- Allows parking everywhere during specified times
- Entitles the vehicle in which it is displayed to be parked in a designated disabled parking space if the holder is a driver/passenger ✓
Answer: D. Entitles the vehicle in which it is displayed to be parked in a designated disabled parking space if the holder is a driver/passenger
The Accessible Parking Permit entitles the vehicle displaying it to park in a designated disabled parking space when the permit holder is a driver or passenger in that vehicle.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says a space marked for people with disabilities is off limits unless you display a disabled person parking permit in your windshield and your vehicle is actually carrying a person with a disability. Both parts matter: the permit has to be displayed, and the person it belongs to has to be in the vehicle. That is why the permit is tied to the vehicle being used for that person's trip rather than being a free pass for any car.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Gives everyone in your family the right to park in a designated disabled parking space — The permit belongs to the person with the disability, not to a whole family, so it does not give every family member the right to use those spaces.
- B. Allows parking in designated space even if the person with the disability is a not passenger — The handbook requires the vehicle to be carrying a person with a disability, so the permit does not work when that person is not along for the trip.
- C. Allows parking everywhere during specified times — The permit covers designated disabled parking spaces only, not parking anywhere you like at certain times.
Remember it
Two things must line up: the permit on the windshield and the person with the disability inside the car.
