Disabled drivers are being warned that their blue badges may not be accepted in popular European holiday destinations this summer due to Brexit.
France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy are among those "undecided" on recognising the discs, which help people park closer to a destination.Bulgaria, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Romania and Slovenia are also undecided on the issue, but all other EU nations accept UK badges.
