Quick legal advice
If you park in a disabled space without a permit, you are committing an offence – even if you stop briefly. The length of the stop is irrelevant. You can only be fined if you have stopped for a lawful reason, for example when transporting a disabled person or in an emergency. Otherwise, the fine is usually justified.
According to the Road Traffic Act , the length of the stop is not decisive – if a car is stopped in a designated place and is not there legally, it is an offence. The only exception is if you are stopping to allow a person with a disabled person’s card to get in or out, or for another legal reason (e.g. an accident).
If you are only getting out or waiting for a short time, it is still stopping in a prohibited place in the eyes of the law.
If you consider the fine to be unfair (e.g. it was really only a necessary stop for the transport of an authorised person), we recommend that you file a written objection to the fine in the administrative procedure.
Prove that you had a legal reason for the stop – for example, by providing a witness statement or a copy of the disabled person’s ID card. Otherwise, you will have to pay the fine.
