A huge mistake, and in my opinion it is both Disablism and Ableism.
This is essentially saying or restricting people with disabilities to a specific, lower cost section of a store like the Tesco Value aisle or Primark instead of higher end stores like Selfridges regardless of their needs or preference.
My view would be for the Government to have concentrated on the restrictions or removal of vehicles with higher Advanced Payment which included both Premium/Luxury and the less Premium ones, since some of these less Premium brands and models do also have higher AP than the Luxury ones.
The framing of Luxury vehicles does not always align with the monetary value, it’s purely a perception, therefore the distinction between luxury vehicles and non luxury vehicles can be subjective and not always tied to the actual costs involved in the Motability scheme.
More like trying to score political points on the expense of….. you know the rest!
