Rules around disability car

james0001

If a named driver used his mother disability car to drive places and is harassing people,is this breaking the rules?

There is 2 instances were he has been reported to the police for this and 1 if them is going to court.,others was a warning.

He uses the car to drive nearby village to fo this.I feel sorry for the family/victim he is targeting.

Would anything come of this we reporting the car to disability scheme?

Hi there @james0001 and a warm welcome to the community.

Do you mean a Motobility car? The car must be primarily used for the care of the awardee, but can be driven by another two people as long as they're registered to drive the vehicle.

I'd say driving to harass people would not be seen as using the car in the interest of the awardee. This could end up with the car being taken away and the mother losing her Motobility award.

You should report any misuse of a Motability car to Motability.

james0001

yes,it’s a mobility car.but will the mobility scheme check if I give them police reference numbers for his harassment reports.

This man is very sneaky and probly say the mother was with him(but she wasn’t in car in either case).

No one here works for Motability so we can't say what the outcome will be.

I'm sure all reports of scheme abuse are taken seriously and they'll have heard all the excuses before etc.

james0001

it’s just if reported and it’s acted on,it was done for a reason/end goal

If reported and nothing done and will know who reported will make there life hell for nothing ..

If you understand where Iam coming from.

Interesting. My motability car is being taken. Im 67 and my car has been a life saver. My son and daughter and granddaughter are able to come see me all the time, take me out and shopping. I am a very poorly lady and think there's a bad man In my garden. Someone reported that my car was being misused and it is not and now my lifeline and the ability to see my family has been taken from me. I dont know how I will cope only seeing them once a fortnight. Im going to feel scared and alone, we think someone rang motability and lied. They never thought about my life being ruined, just rang and lied out of hatred and jelousy. If you are being genuine you did the right thing. So many people lie.
