  • The M6 is free with a blue badge (as I had stated - with the registered car). I make a habit of making sure that I have such things up to date and so have the exemption. Any charges such as the £15 is administration but is NOT a charge for crossing it.


    It depends on how you look at whether a car is free or not.


    You have money given to you and you buy (lease) the car or you have money given directly to someone else to buy (lease) the car for you.


    I could either have the money (which I do not need) or use it to get the car. That is my choice but either way, whether money comes directly to me and I pay it OR directly to someone else on my behalf, the lease is still free as such, I am not the one paying.


    I'm glad to see that you're making the most out of playing the system. Do you have any other money saving loopholes you exploit?

    Every penny counts and all that.

    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Yes. A lot.

    Being on the road without the faintest idea of the rules of the road being just one example.

    I could go on ... and on ... and on ... and on ...

    But that's your speciality, and I will leave you to it.

    In your mind probably not

    In reality the list is endless
  • Am I doing anything wrong?

    In money saving no.

    Give us somemore tips.


    Best leave the driving out of it.

    Am I doing anything wrong?

    You have been told on numerous threads that you clearly ignore the law. You seem to believe you have some divine right to drive as you see fit regardless. You obviously have no consideration or thought for others on the road.

    You really should consider whether you are a fit and proper person to be using the public highway. From what you have already demonstrated by your posts on here, the answer is probably NO.

    Disability or not doesn't absolve you from driving safely and certainly legally. Either grow up and knowledge that you are clearly wrong, or think about taking a driving refresher course to improve your skills and knowledge before you have to live with causing a major accident through your ignorance and arrogance.

    Right what I agree on - That disability should not give me a divine right to drive how I like, what I disagree on is that I should be allowed more courtesy than able bodied people due to my disability

    Absolutely brilliant- truly magnificent. :T

    I don't know who is having the more fun here - the super-troll or the folks having a good laugh responding. :D

    Go back and read post #1 and then the latest post #213

    They just don't come any better than this do they. :rotfl:

    Of course some day we might get a post saying "I like eating kittens while I drive down the wrong side of the motorway - Is there anything wrong with this?" :p
  • imagine if you was gay AND disabed? You'd be able to play BOTH cards...
