There are a large number of disabled drivers in this area, as evidenced by the disabled parking permits hanging from their rear-view mirrors.

The Social Planning & Research Council of B.C., the issuing body, clearly states that it is against the law to drive with the permit hanging, as it obstructs the view of the driver.

“Parking permits must only be displayed when the vehicle is parked,” SPARCBC says.

I can only conclude that these drivers have not read the correct uses of the permit, or are flouting the law.
