Motability Cars

[pete01]

Any other benefits you'd like to deny people who have enough money not to need them? Pension, maybe? NHS treatment?




Err.... that's how it works now.

Disabled people having a mobility car isn't the problem.

Its the fraudulent ones received, 1 in 5 new cars are part of the mobility scheme....seems a lot...maybe.

Why are you so desperate to believe every car is given genuinely? Disabled people fib aswell ya know

 

[pete01]

You lot will argue over anything lol.

Actually you might be right

 

[pete01]

Whoever is telling you things like that is taking you for a fool.

They don't need the form then as all disabled people are always honest

If 9 out of 10 reported are falsely accused, then perhaps you should consider that maybe the examples where you think it's being abused is also 90% likely to be falsely accused?

They should all have 'D' plates on them so that people are aware that they are disabled and make allowances for them, like they do with 'L' plates and 'P' plates. Mind you, that would spoil the looks of their Q8’s, wouldn’t it?

What allowances should people make for disabled drivers?

So forget the 10% that are true? Yeah thats the spirit

Not at all, but if you suspect someone is abusing they system you should have the humility and knowledge to know you're probably wrong.

They should scrap the complaints form then, good plan

 

[pete01]

Just to make it clear if I thought someone had a mobility car and I knew they 100 % shouldnt have it, I would not complain.....as I've said before good for them.

I haven't said that though.

You are moving the goal posts.

The point is that, pip only gives an allowance (if a person qualifies) that can be used against a set number (similar types of car)

Anything different to that has to be paid for by the person. It isn't given away free.

It's not the type of car (a la your neighbour) that matters. It obviously wasn't free, which was where your jealousy was showing.

It depends if they find enough actual abusers of the system through that to make it worthwhile. If the resources were better spent on other abuse detection processes then yes, it should be scrapped.

How dare disabled people be out and about
