    Hi all,
    Nice to see I have stirred up such a lively debate!

    W.W.
    Hi all,
    I am aware that she is really sorry for her stupidity and accepts she did a foolish thing, she will never get behind the wheel of any vehicle while she is banned and therefore uninsurable.
    W.W.
    I have been told by my friend who is her now ex boyfriend that he saw her driving the car on Saturday night!
    I am so shocked and disgusted that a person can write a Motability car off whilst drunk and be rewarded a couple of months later with a brand new car and in the in between weeks she had a hired car provided till her new car was ready.
    UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

    I'm shocked and disgusted that you seem to blame motability. A lying, cheating drunk driver has conned a invalueable service to others and you sit there doing nothing. Hey at least it's a lively debate, right? ;)
    *SIGH*
    :D

    Hi,
    I totally agree with you DX2 the people who really need Dla and using it for motability are the ones that have to fight for it. I would not think twice about reporting her. If the op does not want to do it themself the pm someone with the details and they will do it for them.
    Thanks for any help and advice given

  • Hi arigold,

    Just one more thing, I was wondering why she still has a hired car?
    If RSA has payed out for the wrecked vehicle so promptly surely RSA's obligation in this matter is finished.
    I must stress that she isn't driving the hired car as she is under ban and must be using a designated driver.
    Do RSA still pay for a hired car till she (or her designated driver) picks up her new Motability car which by all accounts could still be a good month or so?
    That would mean that she would have had the hired car for approx 3 months which on top of the cost of the wrecked vehicle must be a fair amount of money.
    I never thought to mention this about the hired car before.
    who pays for the hired car?
    Could you give me one of your lovely clear answers to this point please?

    W.W.:beer:
    once RSA have paid motability for the book value of the car she will be expected to return any car provided by rsa. Motability will then pay for a hire car for her until her new car is ready i believe, if she moans enough
  • Hi all,
    Just to inform all you helpful people who contributed to this thread that the Lady I was refering to in this thread picked up her new Motability car on Saturday 4th September.
    She had a designated driver with her to pick the car up and I have been told by my friend who is her now ex boyfriend that he saw her driving the car on Saturday night!
    I am so shocked and disgusted that a person can write a Motability car off whilst drunk and be rewarded a couple of months later with a brand new car and in the in between weeks she had a hired car provided till her new car was ready.
    UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

    i hope you have reported her, ring motability on 0845 456 4566 or rsa on 0500373737 just give her reg in. both MO and RSA have scheme protection and fraud units, and will act on it.
  • If she is a banned driver as soon as she drive past an police car with ANPR fitted it will flash up to them as the owner is banned and she will be stoped and driving while disqualified can very well land you in prison evern more likey with a previous of drink driving... im very very very suprised shes not driven past a police car with an anpr up untill now
