I've always found it a bit strange that near where i live there are an awful lot of people who claim disability yet drive huge 4 by 4 Jeeps such as Shoguns, Vitara's and Land Rovers. Surely if a person is ill enough that they can legally claim disability benefit, they should not be able to climb up into a massive car that is a few feet off the ground, let alone drive something as big as a Chelsea tractor. If i had something wrong with me the last thing i would want to do is to climb up into my extra large mode of transport
Why isn't there regulation on the kind of car people can attach a blue badge to? I mean surely if a person can drive a car that big and manage to get into one then they may not be as ill as they say. I know that some people who are disabled may be able to, but if they are ill why would they want to? Wouldn't they be better buying a car that is a little lower to the ground and easier to get into?
Also, is driving a huge, gas guzzling car like a Shogun a sign that people who claim disability get too much money? If you can afford the extortionate tax on a 4x4, plus the huge fuel bills and what ever else they need, maybe its a sign that they are not as poor and as hard up as they make out.
The couple who claimed disability benefit and sailed round the world in a £100,000 yacht is a good example. I bet they own a fleet of Mitsubishi Shoguns and Range Rovers.Anyway, that was just a thought.
There's a whole blog dedicated to benefit fraud here - how boring.
