pavlo1969 Â Â 10 #1 Posted October 9, 2007 doe's anyone think that disabled drivers should be entitled to a rebate on fuel prices. Â some disabled drivers are starting to feel the pinch as fuel is going up, a car is like legs to a disabled driver and there last bit of independence. Â just wondered what others thoughts were.

honeyb35 Â Â 10 #2 Posted October 10, 2007 do you mean just disabled drivers or disabled passengers as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pavlo1969 Â Â 10 #3 Posted October 10, 2007 do you mean just disabled drivers or disabled passengers as well? Â good point! Â lets say mobility cars, they include passengers who own them, but don't drive them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sarah1 Â Â 10 #4 Posted October 10, 2007 The thing with this is, if they give a rebate to one set of drivers that rely on their cars, they'd have to give a rebate to others too.. Â Disabled drivers rely on their cars to get around, but taxi drivers also rely on their cars to make a living.. Â Everyone would argue that they should get a rebate because they all rely on their cars for one reason or another... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
medusa   16 #5 Posted October 10, 2007 It's certainly getting noticeable how much more month there is left at the end of the money as a result of all sorts of fuel cost increases (both heating fuels and petrol).  I had my first tank fill up that started with a 6 the other day- that's not a nice figure to think about!
