    You have a lot more faith in the authorities than I do!

    I only ever drive the car in question to the garage or tyre shop, but I'm still concerned, as a (mostly) able bodied person, driving around in an 18 year old 2+2 sports car taxed as disabled. It looks pretty bad doesn't it?

    Well I for one am not worried as the car will only be used for me. Anyone else who abuses the system should have the book thrown at them as its people like that that give a bad name to all disabled drivers. I am sick of people assuming I'm a scrounger or a cheat.
