Motability Insurance
Discussion
Chaps, I'm hoping for advice as I'm not sure about the rules. I live next door to a house that is occupied by three people that have learning difficulties/disabilities. They live with a rota of carers that stay with them continously. One of these residents has had arranged for them a motability car that only moves when said resident is in it and is driven by whichever carer is on duty that day. Now, if I've understood it correctly, is that motability only insures two drivers for a car. I've seen at least five different people driving the car, so my question is, is this car being driven legally?
If I'm wrong about the two drivers rule then it's a mistake by me, but can someone please tell me if I'm right or wrong I'll be grateful. The reason I'm asking is that this car is abandoned on the pavement with an empty drive to put it on. Plus the carers park their own cars opposite the neighbours drives making life awkward. The senior carer is going to be had a word with by someone shortly about this by a neighbour with less diplomatic skills than me.

The middle course is that any Motability client can have more than two people on the policy, but they have to pay a fee for the extras.
We looked at it with my daughter's car, because on the days she is too crocked to drive and needs to get to hospital (but is not ill enough to warrant tying up an ambulance) and her husband is not available, we wanted one of us to be able to drive her in the car.
The parking issue is a tricky one. If the carers are female you have a problem, because while any woman will say she can do three things at once, in my experience two of those three things are definitely not reversing and parking.

Your last paragraph cracked me up. I salute you sir.

They also can't have sex and a headache at the same time; so much for multitasking. QBee said:

If it's legit on the pavement then get it towed. If it's not on the pavement, I think you need to learn what abandoned means.Here is a handy link since you seem to have confused your entitlement with abandonment.
