Correct answer
C. No.
Explanation
In the photo, a car park next to blocks of flats with two spaces marked with marking P-24 and plate T-29 for vehicles of persons with disabilities. The question is about parking when the driver's parking card has expired. Parking is not allowed - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act states that a person with a disability who holds a parking card and is driving a vehicle marked with this card may disregard certain signs prohibiting traffic or parking; the card is placed behind the windscreen so that its number and expiry date can be read. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a space marked with marking P-24 is intended for the vehicles of such persons. The Road Traffic Act states directly that a parking card becomes invalid when its period of validity ends, and the expiry date must be visible precisely so that the person carrying out the check can verify it. No regulation gives a transitional period of 7 or 14 days after expiry; answers A and B are made up. A person whose card has expired must apply for a new one, and until then parks in ordinary spaces. The card is issued for a maximum of 5 years, so you have to keep an eye on its expiry date.
Legal basis: Art. 8 para. 1, 3, 5c and 5e point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 92 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
