Explanation:

agree  Marie-Hélène Hayles: the first and third links relate to disabled drivers, while the second relates to disabled passengers. Without further knowledge of the registered holder's status, you can't be more specific than "disabled persons".

Explanation:
If it's UK vehicle registration document, it means that the car has been registered by a disabled driver and is thus eligible for a lower rate of taxation. My partner bought a car from a disabled driver a few years ago and had to have it reclassified.
