Why did I receive a citation when I have a handicap permit?

Temporary handicap permits to an individual and permanent license plates for a vehicle are issued by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Temporary permits must be displayed by hanging on the rearview mirror in plain view of the officer. Persons with valid handicap permits or license plates may park in any handicap-marked parking space or at any space regulated by a time zone in excess of the posted time limit, up to four hours maximum. Handicapped permits/license plates do not give the authorization to park in fire lanes or other no parking zones.
