Not good enough for charity shop
I have a mobility scooter that I no longer use or need - to dispose of. It's way too good for the tip - so I thought that I would offer it to a charity shop - it cost £1600, in 2017 but has not been used at all since 2020 - it is in "as new" condition. The only thing wrong with it - is the battery doesn't hold a charge - a…

Would it be worth reapplying for a Provisional driving license?
I had one when I was 20, almost 30 years ago but I wasn't diagnosed with the Autism then, I reapplied about 7 years later and was refused by the DVLA, they said I wouldn't be able to control a vehicle, and I'd be a candidate for "Road Rage" due to my tendency to get mad easily. Nearly 23 years later, I'm still disabled,…
