    This must be a joke.

    Is it the 1st of April?

    The law, is the law. Whether you like it or not. If you are so disabled that you cannot follow it, you should not be driving on the motorway.

    What I do not understand is why a disabled person qualifies for a mobility car if they have another car.
    Keep on trucking!
  • I haven't broadcast the fact that I have another car. The way I see it, when we get to a certain age as well, things stop being means tested such as my bus pass, heating allowance, prescriptions etc. These things I am entitled to but if they were all means tested, then I would lose them.
    I can have more than one car if I can afford it.
  • Anyway, you shouldn't really have answered this thread. This was MY thread as I opened it and I should be the one to close it due to being picked on.

    You are having a laugh, aren't you?

    You should have ignored my post if you did not want to continue.
    Keep on trucking!
  • And that's just what I'll do

    Quite right too - just the same as everything else you ignore including the Highway Code.

    What an !!!-hole.

    It is because of people like the bullies why I tend to stay in the middle lane. It is a nice smooth run for me.

    And a danger to everyone else.

    'Its my tread, so I'll decide when it finishes' is very childish.

    It is an open forum. Starting a thread does not give you the right to finish it. Anyone can post when they choose to. You have the choice to not post again, but you have no right to tell others they can not post.

    You mean, apart from here:
    Because of the car I drive, some people do not think I am disabled as it is not a standard mobility car. I have my mobility car as well as my second car which I keep somewhere else in a garage and use for longer journeys and weekends away and such.
