Rhodgie, what am I wrong about? You think users of the scheme should subsidise through higher APs people who need an automatic, by levelling the AP to that of a manual car. It’s an admirable sentiment but I don’t agree with it
.My last sentences were entirely relevant. As I was trying to make you understand, there’s more to need than a type of gearbox.
Should users who need a large car to contain a wheelchair also have their AP levelled to the same as those cars that are too small to contain a wheelchair?. Should people whose disability prevents them getting into a low car have their AP subsidised by everyone else so a tall car has the same AP as a low car?
And if all that were possible, how are you going to measure that need?. What if I would love to have your Ford Focus automatic for the same price as a manual but don’t have a clinical need. How are you going to stop me taking advantage of it?
As I said, I have no problem with your sentiment, but expand your thinking and recognise that other needs than an auto box also cost more and you would see how it couldn’t work.
And Mike, I notice your lack of any meaningful contribution.
