Why do you think it's all about you, all of the time?
And what are these children and lower tax rate you are blathering on about?

And what are these children and lower tax rate you are blathering on about?
This makes no sense.
Firstly, unless you’re one of the bods that reviews and signs off claims then you have no idea it is ‘massively abused’. There is no way you could.
Secondly the fact you believe the scammers on social media will coach you how to apply - and what, they guarantee it works (lol) is just very naive.
I can coach you how to make a million* if you just give me £1000 (I can’t, but lots of people on YouTube pay for adverts to say they can).
* results may vary.
I feel your possibly arguing with yourself I haven’t seen any digs or negatives to your personal claim of low or free road tax. I for one agree with @PlanB whether you like it or not there are a lot of people taking the piss out of the schemes and benefits our great government seem to give out so easily.
When I was younger and self employed with a brand new baby I had a nasty accident which meant I couldn’t work for months and was given no help what so ever on the one and only time of needing a little help even though I’ve worked all my life and paid my due diligence along the way. No one needs to know you and the Mrs are in a higher paying tax bracket for the high earners I expect there’s a fair few of us that are but don’t feel the need to mention it.
It shouldn’t matter we pay what we owe Simple’s.
Whether I like it or not all I see are people with huge chips on their shoulders who are simply resentful. Try paying taxes all your life then finding yourself disabled and receiving just a little bit back for a change and then have listen to the snidey remarks from people who are just "stating facts" and see how you like it.
Its funny how people weren't just "stating facts" when I wasn't receiving something they don't get.
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes you're not ina position to tell me what is simply a harmless comment with regards to disability and what isn't.
It's bigotry, and that's me simply stating "a fact."
I mentioned the tax situation solely to point out that not everyone that receives something back is a bludger, and that I don't complain at having to subsidise lower earners. You could acknowledge that point instead of dodging around it.

If you were a Police Officer who stopped many thousands of cars over the years and noticed that many criminals used Motability cars, you could believe that Motability is massively abused. I stopped numerous people who drove a Motability car in Grandad's name because he qualified. I never saw Grandad in the car though.
I'm not bothered if you think that 1 in five drivers are so disabled that they should get a car subsidised by the hard working tax payer, I'm just stating my experience.
My son is a Police officer.
One of the decent ones that doesn’t misrepresent what people say.
Great job stopping thousands of cars though and weeding out all those bogus benefits claimants. Surprised there are any left.
Again I feel your taking it personally no one has stated you are abusing the system but surely you don’t believe all claims are genuine?
Police officer for 32 years, 16 of those in roads policing and 8 in autocrime, and you're talking nonsense. MB drivers are no more or less dishonest than any other driver. Indeed, they're somewhat less likely to be committing document offences.
Mind you, I did two tours of NI in the Army and I think you may have something. All the people shooting at us and trying into blow us up were obviously MB drivers. I think Lord Lucan and the Krays were MB drivers too.
Where did I misrepresent what people say?
As you don't know me, or the people who's lives I saved, it's probably a little silly to imply that I'm not one of the decent ones.
I think your anger may have got the better of you!
No one has had the stones to explicity say it, and when challenged they were merely "stating facts." I'll accept that.
But you may wish to sit down for this. There are schemers, bludgers and downright criminals in all walks of like. There are criminals in your line of work. There are fraudsters in your street. I guarantee it.
Benefit fiddlers aren't some unique and separate form of life leaving everyone else is in a completely pious and law abiding segment of society. It may be a shock to some, but that's how it is.

I said that the scheme is massively abused. Obviously this provoked a lot of anger, why not get angry at these sources directly instead?
True.
Very true.
They're less likely to be driving without insurance because we pay for their insurance.
Oh I’m fully aware of all the wrong doings going on and totally agree with the criminals in my line of work statement I get mugged daily down at the builders merchants prices they bloody charge!
I think this thread has drifted a bit off topic from its original intended purpose of tracking car tax price increase on a T6..
Well have a tidy up later and clear it down to get back to where we need to be.
