    So a car needs to be fit for the individuals disability needs – not a status symbol – if you want status and you find it on Motability – that’s a bonus, but shouldn’t be an expectation!!

    {Devils Advocate} Why shouldn’t someone who has a senior managerial/professional job be able to use the scheme?  A disabled person should be able to make use of the scheme and if they decide to take advantage of the scheme, should they not also have the opportunity to have a car that gives them parity with their peers?

    It is possible to say that one of my needs as a senior professional is to have a car that represents my status at work, should it be wrong to say that if your disabled?
