What a fooking waste of tax Payers money.
I have never seen so many people disrespect a car, so much so when they are sold off they go for peanuts, thus the government lose out even more.
What's more most of the drivers I have seen look more able bodied than me :rolleyes:
Scrap the whole scheme - will save a fooling fortune
Rant over, got another sh!t box un loved car to clean :grin:
-
Thalidomides eating in the car again?
-
windowlickers causing you problems again?

I was having a nose around a Scirocco forum the other day, one guy was saying how he had a 1.4 TSI as that was the best model he could get on Mobility. When probed a little by the others on the forum he said his Mum claims the benefit and he drops her down to the shops once a week in it ... needless to say it all kicked off a little after that!! :laugh:

Whoa! :shocked:

You should see how many I get to view every day at work... :lipsrsealed:

I know what your saying pal and they never have to pay for anything to be fixed most of the time it takes twice as long to do the work on the car cause you have move all there crap out first. Had one yesterday with a near side front window switch door card covered in pop hat to change the switch then clean up after them car only a couple of weeks old so wrong
-
Complete waste of taxpayers money, if they want a car get a heap of sh!te with the money they already receive in benefits. There are people that genuinely need a car but obviously the system is just being totally abused at the moment.

a few years ago my ex was involved in an accident when the driver of a disability car ran a red light
and crashed into her , all they were bothered about was that they didnt have a car not that she
was hurt or that they had caused the accident in the first place :angry: :angry:
I'm sure all they had to do was ring up and get a new one delivered but my ex had to wait untill hers
was fixed which took 4 weeks :shocked:
She never got an appology even though witnesses proved it was totally their fault :sick:

There are also people, for example terminally ill, that really need the help.
Each to their own though eh?

Make you right on that one. I see so many that we have to do bodywork on for Nissan.
They always stink as well.
Always check that cars you buy aren't ex-mobility, probably full of filler. :sick:
Get some weird ones tho, hand controls, automatic Micras geith the throttle on the left hand side of the brake pedal.
Makes for fun driving. :grin:
-
Yeah I work for Nissan to drove a note in the other day with hand controls as wel as pedals fun until I noked the lever when turning it around and took off thought I was going to make my own work :sad:
-
if they're not safe to work they're not safe to drive?

Man up!

I don't think the goverment loses out twice.
From the Motabilty website:
The Motability Scheme enables disabled people to exchange either their Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance or their War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement to obtain a new car, powered wheelchair or scooter.
Essentially, the scheme is a leasing scheme,and the leasing rates reflect the end value of the car.
also, the car doesn't have to be driven by the disabled person, just used for their benefit.
An aweful lot of the cars make a very good low mileage purchase at the end of the lease

Low mileage will count for nothing, will have been driven and treated like a piece of crap like most leased cars.

TBH, most will be driven pretty sensibly. The clinically obese and arthritic pensioners dont tend to rag the sh!t out of their cars! Which lets face it, most with mobility cars are. If you can find one with decent bodywork, a simple valet will make the car a cheap-ish, clean used motor. Obviously provided it hasnt been modified too much with regard to the original users ability/disability.

The vast majority aren't modified at all

On more than a few occasions I've been to the car auctions when they are selling off the ex mobility cars and to be honest most of the ones I've looked over have been in very good and perfectly acceptable condition, the used car dealers can't get enough of them !
-
TBF I suppose all the mint mobility cars don't come into my work for repair but the ones that do are seriously aweful. Don't know how it's possible to get in that state. :sick:
