Is it time to bring back the Plastic Pig?

[mr self destruct]

Obviously we have too many people getting Motability cars when they should be buying their own but I also accept that for some people we need to provide them with transport.
the plastic pig might be the way to go. Disabled people will get dedicated cars that will help them transport themselves around and maybe one other passenger. Perhaps the plastic pig could be replaced with one of the San Permis cars from France?

Nine of my family and friends have Motability cars, and they all were reassessed. The six who got them back were all too disabled to drive themselves, and it turns out a large percentage of Motability cars have nominated able-bodied drivers (my stepdad drives my mum's car for example).
So while I totally agree with what the government are doing with the reassessments, I don't think an Invacar would benefit many of those who are left on the scheme.
Shame though, as I quite miss those little blue fuckers. My mum used to take me out in hers in the 70's, sitting on the floor by the seat, and I'd have to duck every time a copper was near.  :lol
