How the mod edit anyone sitting in a Kwik Fit for an hour can come up with the idea that benefit scroungers are rife is pretty breathtaking. If they get motability, they have been subject to scrutiny and very likely deserve it. It's not free, it's hard to get and you get less than in times past.

Besides that, how does the OP know these aren't some kind of fleet contract arrangement. I can go into anywhere I like and get my Company car fitted with 'buckshee' tyres if it needs them, serviced too for that matter.

Unless you stopped each person and asked if they were on Motability and then could somehow analyse if they were legit or not, then frankly you're talking out of your bottom.

Still haters gonna hate I suppose.

Go get a job writing stuff for the Daily Mail - they'd like you.
1. Read the rules with regard to profanity;

2. Read the article and bear in mind that anecdotal comment is intended to supplement and initiate discussion;

3. Drink less Red Bull during school time;

4. Develop a more mature discussion approach.

Perverse thinking. Your van isn't funded by the benefits system.

I would repeat my earlier answer but you could just read it again. Let me give you a clue: the article is about abuse of the Motability system. You do know there's a link in the OP don't you?
