It's just that my old fella was saying he heard they were getting rid of the disabled and OAP consessions but keeping the under 12 one??????????
I'm just wondering if he heard it wrong, say he heard it on the loacl news. He's in Somerset. |

No change for us 'mature' chappies. There was a change for the 'disabled', you now need a blue 'disabled' badge to qualify for the disabled concession.

Not quite true, using the blue badge scheme [if you have one] just makes it easier to get the concession. Have a read here.

Saw a guy in Tesco's car park with a 'Blue Badge' displayed in his car, the speed at which he ran he could have given Lynford Christie a run for his money. These are the people who can now qualify for a concessionary rod licence; whilst the poor people such as those with a mental handicap or other similar disability will have to pay for the full licence. Really well thought out!!!
Well done Dafydd and the BDAA, you all deserve a slap on the back!! -------------------- |

I 'm not defending the way that any of the 'badge' schemes are/were operated, since at Local Authority level they were sometimes handed out by Social Services like sweeties, without any real control. I do remember that badge holders can be drivers of disabled people ie you dont need to have a disability to have a badge. It is however an offence to abuse the priviledge. Its a few years since I was involved with the scheme so the rules might have changed.

Dear Wearyone,
Was the blue badge holder running away cos you are 19stone? I wouldn't. Run away that is. Even if you had Peter behind you!!! Regards, Lee. |
