Whilst I understand the need for certain people to have a car from the scheme I fail to see why you are using expensive TV adverts on every single ad break when people who need the vehicles are already well informed about them, the current advert showing people singing in their cars is embarrassing and frankly appalling, the voices sound like nails dragging down a blackboard and according to social media I am one of the millions of people who switch it off as soon as it comes on, so who are you reaching, for the sake of every ones sanity please take this obnoxious ad off our screens
Berenice – Your post reads as though it’s addressed to Motability. Presumably you know that this forum has nothing to do with them? You might want to also send your comments direct to Motability. BTW, I think that most of us agree that the ad is cringeworthy and will probably do more harm than good (disabled people on benefits getting ‘free’ cars etc) but the reality is that two-thirds of people in receipt of higher rate mobility are not in the Motability scheme. There is a view that some of this is down to lack of awareness of the scheme (hence the ad) but I suspect that most use their benefits to help pay bills or are happy to run their own car at less expense than the £10k benefits that need to be sacrificed even for a car with zero Advance Payment.
