Any driver who, by nature of their disability, has to have an auto, should be able to have one for the same AP as the manual IMO.
On that point I totally agree, I’m in the fortunate position that as a war pensioner, we do get that to a certain extent, in that the Veterans Agency pay us a grant to cover the difference between an Automatic and Manual version, although this is limited to £660. As I said, in 10 years time, this will not be an issue as there will be no manual transmissions.
