I don’t know about being covered by UK law as raising prices is not against the law AFAIK and we simply don’t know if Motability keeps an eye on the ball because north American business is based on money comes first then customers then staff and you don’t spend over £7Bn just to stay where you are but we maybe lucky and prices stay stable but I don’t hold out much for UK workers keeping their jobs as clerical work can be done from anywhere. Let’s not forget too that north American social benefits are contributed insurance based so lets hope there’s nothing in that.
My concerned, as with AP’s and massive price increases in cars coming the next few years is government will look for spending cuts and the ill-thought-out policy of shifting the disabled from DLA to PIP was all to do with the 2008 financial crash and now were lending money way beyond the 2008 crash and WW2 spending.
I’m sure you’ve heard the government saying the past 6 months that there will be “no return to austerity” despite all the money we’ve lent and yet today their saying public sector pay is to be frozen again after only 2 years gone by since it was unfrozen from the last time. With that in mind how long do you think there going to keep ring-fencing disability benefits.
Sounds like austerity is being written on the walls to me and as last time they know the disabled can’t defend themselves so were always a good target that nobody else cares about, not even the opposition parties and I’m sure politicians will have it in mind that most disabled folk are locked down in their homes so they don’t really need cars so lets cut PIP and give then a free bus pass to get to hospital appointments.
So you see any increase in prices to Motability will not wear well with those who pay the bills but I hope I’ve got this all wrong but somehow, for some reason, I don’t think I have.
