Blue Badge & Windscreen Sun Shield

Options
After another occasion of getting in the car and feeling like the heat was sucking out the already limited puff in my lungs I'm turning to you guys for help. In the days before I was unfortunate enough to need a blue badge I always tried to put my sun shield up to try and keep the heat down. Since then I've just put up with the heat however would love to know if anyone has come up with any ideas of combining the 2 successfully. I really do NOT want to risk a fine etc.

    Unfortunately not. I tend to leave the windows open and leave my german shepherd in the car instead- I've even got a sign which says 'this car is unlocked- they keys are under the dog' ;)

    You will see I am perfectly sane.'

    Piece of blu-tak to hold the blue badge visible on the windshield, then put the sunshield up? :confused:

    would it be possible to glue or staple a clear plastic pocket onto the front of your sunshield and then just insert your badge when needed?

    not an answer to your question, but maybe? useful - coopersofstortford advertise a solar car vent, (the autocool) and a cooling car cushion on their site. (I don't work for them and haven't used so can't vouch for their effectiveness)
