๐ฅ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT MOTABILITY, SINCE SOME OF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO BEING LOUD AND WRONG ๐ฅ
The ignorance about Motability could power the national grid.โจSome of you are out here spewing BS.
๐ฅ No, disabled people do NOT get โfree cars.โ
โจYou donโt wake up one morning, sneeze, and materialise a shiny SUV from the government fairy. You exchange your Higher Rate Mobility or Enhanced PIP mobility entitlement - and that payment goes directly to Motability. Itโs a lease, not a gift.
๐ฅ No, you cannot just pick a โluxury car.โ
โจYou donโt stroll into a dealership and order a BMW for fun. You get a short list of sensible, usually basic models. And if you want anything even remotely bigger, you pay thousands in an upfront โAdvance Payment.โ From your own pocket.
Disabled people are literally paying extra for the crime of needing space for mobility aids or adaptations.
๐ฅ Insurance? Servicing? Repairs?
โจIncluded - because itโs a lease. Not a magical perk. Just a standard part of the deal. And god forbid someone bumps into a Motability car the way some people act, youโd think the disabled driver was committing murder.
๐ฅ Reality check:
โจMost disabled people only choose Motability because buying and maintaining a car is financially impossible when your disability already bleeds your wallet dry.โจThis scheme is a lifeline - not a jackpot.
โจIt gives people independence, work access, medical access, the ability to have a damn life.
๐งจ So before you start raging about โfree carsโ and โscroungers,โ try this: learn how the system actually works.
โจDisabled people arenโt living the high life. Theyโre just trying to exist.
And if that offends you?
โจ๐๐จ Touch grass. Preferably far away from Motability cars.
