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.

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

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:

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
