My next door neighbour rear-ended my old Tiguan whilst it was parked and he did so with a 15 year old automatic petrol-engined Merc. My car was rammed 5ft through a fence. His foot slipped off the pedal apparently. He was only doing a three point turn in the car park. You don’t need an EV with lots of bhp to cause destruction in a car park let me tell you!
I’m also sick of people saying that we get “free” cars and they almost sound jealous. I would love to swap my health problems and car for whatever it is that they drive, I do not care what it is. In fact if I was healthy I would happily catch the bus and walk everywhere. I’d love to!
Plus these cars actually do cost us an arm and a leg over the 3 year term. It isn’t like we get the car and the PIP is it! We choose one or the other. There are plenty out there who get full PIP but choose not to have Motability cars and spend it on holidays, nights out and gadgets etc. We’re just an easy target.
They also seem to think that the govt/taxpayer make a loss on these cars. They don’t!
