    YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM then why hope you get hrm before your next birthday?
    To save yourself even more money. If you were that desperate you'd be out dpoing it ages ago.
    as for having to write leaft and right on your hand then I'd say you would be a complete danger to yourself and the public if you were to drive a car.

    Should someone in that condition be driving?
    I hope I dont come acrooss someone with mental health issues driving a car in the middle of a MELTDOWN

    I've got a BB and I'm blind. You don't want to come across me driving a car in the middle of being blind. I reckon this thread has run it's course - if you want to discuss whether people are fakers or not then do it on the DT board.
    Only 3% of those registered blind in the UK have zero vision.

    10% of the population have dyslexia or didnt you no that and with a IQ of 171 i no iam perfectly capable of making decsions over being able to drive

    the right and left would only be for my test, its called a coping stratagy i could it i wanted to say i cant do this i cant do that but i will work hard and get what i want , in my own mind i no where iam going i just cant always show that to others

    why i would like hrm asap is because at 25 you dont get you driving lessons payed for after 24

    as for geting a moblity scootor are you going to pay for that do you no how much they are,

    iam not giving into my condtion at 24 just to suit YOU also you cant use them on the metro local to me

    So wont your disbracia not affect your driving? Seems to me that your just trying to get as much as you can for nothing. When did you actually LOOSE YOUR FREEDOM? You said your learning difficulties were not noticeed at school and your only 24.
    I am not going to pay for a scooter for you but will be paying for part of your driving lessons via my tax.
    Dont know what getting a scooter on the metro has to with anything, you cant get cars on either.
    Just dont understand how no-one noticed your learning difficulties and you re able to go to colege etc but NEED a free car, free lessons and a blue badge!

    20 mile commute to where? OP does not work and looks like has no intention of work. Igf you were desperate to get your freedom back you would not care what mode of transport you had. You'd get out there with a zimmer frame if you REALLY wanted to get out.
    There an old guy here in Coventry that is doubled over and uses an OLD BIKE
    to enable him to walk. You see him most days walking around coventry at around 1mph . He could probably get a mobilty car, blue badge etc etc etc but he chooses to kep HIMSELF mobile and hes about 70 odd.
    This girl is on 24 and THINKS she has every problem under the sun and wants hand outs left right and centre!!!
    Doesn't even go to college according to some of hr first posts on this site (but reckons she does in this thread ?!!!)
    Her laerning dificulties only appeared when she failed her exams at 19 which suggests she must have been ok up til then , (She would have had to pas exams to get into college in the first place so no problems then)
    All her threads on this forum are looking for advice how to get this, how to get that. I think she's a blagger.
