The problem is Goughie ,and welcome btw, that there are people out there, who are abusing the system, and we all know at least one, I'll bet?
But there are far more in genuine need, and who are not abusing the system, but who are getting tarred with the abuser's brush through ignorance and I'm afraid 'jealousy' - why should they have a new car free when I can't !
Well, as you say, it's not free, and the deposits and monthly payments are little different from what the 'objectors' can get , if they just looked, and I agree that any one of us would gladly give up our so called 'perk' to be back to full health & working again.
No one in genuine need should be ashamed of taking up a Motabilty car offer, any more than they should be ashamed of taking medication or having surgery, it's all part of making life a little easier for those who need it.
Regards.
