Jesse White Reminds Motorists to Avoid Displaying Disability Placards from the Rearview Mirror While Driving

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is reminding motorists to help improve road safety statewide, including not driving with disability placards or other items hanging from the rearview mirror.

“Disability placards must be displayed when the vehicle is
parked in an accessible parking space,” said White. “Once the
vehicle is moving, the placard should not be displayed. It is
illegal to drive on roads with a parking placard hanging from the rearview mirror as stated on each placard issued by the Secretary of State.”

People should not drive a motor vehicle with any objects
obstructing the driver’s view, placed, suspended, or hanging from the rearview mirror or between the driver and the front windshield, rear window, or side windows. Violators of this law can face up to a $500 fine.

“One of my top priorities is road safety and driving with a placard or any other item displayed impairs the driver’s view. Let’s keep one another safe by making sure our windshields are unobstructed.”
