      If you drive over 1 hour you get a red mark, after a hours driving how long to they expect you to take a break ?

      The other issue 6 journeys a day, you stop at one shop then another they are all classed as separate journeys, so if you do this 6 times you get a red mark.

        They have really got it in for us, I surprised they haven’t suggested speed limiters etc. The next stage going to cut back the mobility element of PIP ?

          A few months ago out of curiosity I input all my Suzuki Across details on the Martin lewis site Hasting offered almost quotation was almost £150 less if I had a Drive Smart tracker.

          Personally Drive Smart is a no no, I understand were you are coming from unfortunately Mobility Operations are 4 major banks who have a vulnerable captive audience they are a profit making business, as opposed to Mobility who are a charitable organisation.

          Financially I am ok , I am in 2 minds just to walk away and buy a used vehicle, Mobility Operations seems to be moving away from us, that’s probably the Goverments intetions

              No they are all looking for votes the disabled are an easy target. One of the biggest problem is the rise of these influencer encouraging and showing non disabled people to claim disability, it is us who will suffer.

                The key point is: “Introduce it across the board”. In order to not discriminate against new users, everyone will have it installed. It will take Motability and the manufacturers time to stock up on units and roll it out across every member.

                But they are not saying that, for Drive Smart if applicable “you have to accept the term and conditions’

                I would NOT accept the terms and condition I would just simply leave the scheme, especially after 1st July with the VAT added there are better deals outside the scheme the Tesla 3 for one.

                  So if through no fault of your own, you get a lemon, you will be punished!

                  No if you get a lemon you simply leave on the drive unused and catch the bus, if it breakdown you either tow it behind your mobility scooter or electric wheelchair simple.

                      Read the terms and conditions, if you have no assets or disposable income it highly likely you would fail the criteria for a Tesla lease anyway, so it is all immaterial.

                        Please be aware if you lose you PIP or the lease hold dies the debt still stands.

                        If you are dead….. You are not going to be worrying about the debt are you?? If you lose pip, you lose your motability car anyway? 4 red lights on the black box an you get kicked off the scheme.

                        Full aware of the drive smart box, however, if you lose you PIP on a lease you are still saddled with a debt or your wife/estate if you die.

                        We may consider a Tesla lease , however we are reserves if it goes tits up.

                            Modern vehicles be it private or Mobility are fitted with a manufactures black box, the authorities are able to access the data.

                            I am not keen on Mobility drive smart which could be imposed on us at any time on newer lease contacts, it really putting off leasing another Mobility vehicle.

                              It’s a shame the Tesla is too low for us to get into.

                              Have you tried the Model Y, it’s higher and they have similar PCP deals.[/quote]

                                If it was down to Reform especially if they get into power maybe with the Conservatives the scheme would be WAV wheelchair only. However this government has far from finished with us quite yet, to fund defence they are looking at some serious cuts, look no further.

                                  Our Suzuki regular get the speed limits wrong, if someone is dangerously parked it hits the brakes all by itself, then there is dodge the potholes or should I say  chose the less dangerous one’s.

                                    “Almost half (48%) of customers on the Scheme who have tried to access insurance privately have been priced out – quoted premiums they could not afford. That’s why everyone on the Scheme receives the same comprehensive insurance cover as part of their lease. The total cost of this cover is shared across all customers as part of their overall lease cost. ” Pesonally I think they are just clutching at straws with some of the stuff they are coming out with! There is plenty of evidence out there on how data will be shared, which is contradictory to the latest media factsheet, including that from the NI trial, the manufacturer IMS (IMS One APP and IMS Wedge) & Motability’s own website. The reports of NI trial, where numerous scheme users were removed from the scheme and the particular report of someone doing 117mph in a built up residential area, I think is utter bollocks and was either for the purpose of a media attention headline, as I wouldn’t put it past Motability, based on the fact they have never stood up for us scheme users OR there was a GPS or App error reporting current speed, which happens. I always remember the time, the tracker on my Mercedes Sprinter 316 recorded 212mph down the M4 and recieving a certificate for the fastest contractor oof the month, which I still have. Of course this was nonsense. I’m also of the opinion every user of the scheme should have been asked for their a opinion on the changes to the scheme and not left to a Think Tank (Adam Smith) to target customers who’s responses would be favurable to the changes. A simple text or email with a link to an automated survey, would have been mch fairer.

                                    Aviva quoted us the other day £517 for a new long range Tesla 3 premium, noted  Tesla are cheaper than Mobility for excess mileage. Its a shame the Tesla is too low for us to get into.

                                            As part of the MOT they would have checked the operation of the seat belts , how do they know if they are bent, if they stuck. Sounds like the mechanism has failed.

                                                    There is no sign of the EV5 having any issues with the ICCU, although it’s not been out for long.

                                                    As far as I’m aware, the EV4 doesn’t. The Integrated Charging Control Units (ICCUs) issue isn’t new across Hyundai/Kia/Genesis range and dates back to 2021/22. In some cases its caused by a MOSFET transistor. Kia launched a TSB last year for a firmware update and where necessary a replacement ICCU for the EV3. Dealers were replacing the ICCU and not updating the firmware, which led to ongoing issues. I’m shocked they haven’t been sued!

                                                    Apparently the EV4 suffers the same problem plus the charging port can overheat up 100 degrees C, what is with Hyundai/Kia they buried their heads over the 1.6 ICE particularly filter problem. I am taking them off my shortlist I need reliability not problems.
