    My thoughts are that this information can be used against you, not now but may in the future, especially now society is being divided. extremes of this division . next - will be putting your religion on public view. In 1905 a blue star on Nederland's identity cards cost 106,000 dutch jews their lives, 35 years later .


    My first thought when I read that was that you have partaken in a bit too much of the herb for the last 20 years or so and it's finally got to you.
    If I'm wrong and you don't smoke, maybe it's time to start taking a toke or two on a recreational basis and then simply chill out for a bit.

    To be honest, if it's that much of a problem for you, why don't you re-register the vehicle in its usual taxation class and just pay for the VED? That way you'll get the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you're contributing to the country's finances through your payments, and no problem with nosey neighbours. In the grand scheme of things, it's only a couple of hundred quid, isn't it?

    I'm not sure I understand the problem here really. My car is taxed disabled, One look at me, and you will know I'm disabled, my tax disc says disabled on it, and the blue badges on the dashboard say disabled on them, as does the fact that if available, I will be parked in a disabled space. Do I care that people know I'm disabled? Not a jot!

    The OP can't do that because it's not their car, it belongs to Motability and is leased to the OP.

    Yeah, I wasn't really serious. The warm fuzzy feeling comment was supposed to give away the tongue-in-cheek-i-ness.

    They could ask MFL to come and collect the car and then buy their own, tax is as PLG/diesel car/petrol car.

    Or they could just get a grip/life..

    the blue badge is separate to the disabled tax disc as its given out by the local authority. to get blue badge you have to prove your disabled by a test or you get dla at high rate which gives you the blue badge.
    in my mind as i am disabled i don't give a jot about it on my tax disk sounds to me like you need to stop the neighbours winging i bet there jealous of you having a new car free to use and object to this, me personally i run around in a 03 car and use the dla to pay for the insurance/upkeep of car as i don't give a monkeys about flashing off a new reg. up here in north we call them "gimp cars" mainly new focus or qashqai they run around in proud as punch you see them in the disabled bays all the time.
    just ignore the neighbors and get a big disabled sign on road in front of house to pee them off even more.
