I have a Motability car, which my daughter is a named driver on. She's used my car many times without me being with her, if I'm unable to be there.1 -

Morally struggled with this myself but have gone and done it having taken advice from other forums. Other half registered SVI last Summer, zero functioning vision. So they'll never be behind the wheel so "personal use" - for me it's all for their benefit. Shopping, visitors, even taking the family group out for a day trip or a meal with and without is for their benefit (joys of peace and quiet). Commuting - me personally I don't use the car for that but I'd argue the benefit there is that you are able to come home quicker if required, for you or other dependents. I'd draw the line at using the car for work (deliveries etc) and I think the authorities would as well.MFWB 2025 #35: £7,576.69 / £10,000
