Well, it depends on the context. A story went around some years ago about a colleague who was in London. Once he got his PhD (in physics), he had a sign made which read "DOCTOR VISITING" which was placed in his dashboard when he double parked now and again (parking spaces being hard to find in his neighborhood). As the story went, he never got a parking ticket.
Signing with the PhD is occasionally useful in dealing with bureaucrats or people in schools who make life difficult for one's children too, as I have noticed.
