Bring back three-wheeled cars for disabled drivers, Reform urges
Reform has called for the return of 1960s three-wheeled free cars for disabled people, as it launched plans to save billions of pounds by restricting benefits for mental health claimants.
Lee Anderson, Reform’s chief whip, suggested the return of the “Invacar” — or invalid carriage — a small single-seater microcar that was distributed by the NHS for decades after the Second World War.
Anderson told a press conference hosted by the party: “I remember back in the day if you were on disability and you wanted a car from the state, it was a blue three-wheeler, anybody remember those? What’s wrong with that? Let’s go back to that.”
The cars were banned from British roads in 2003 for being too dangerous, after reports of them overturning and catching fire, and ministers ordered that all remaining cars be crushed.
