So all those flash new BMW's and Mercs with 'disabled' badges not only don't have to pay to park in the best places they don't have to pay tax too???
I think the whole disabled badge system is abused.

You have to be in receipt of the highest level of mobility allowance to get free tax, so it's not that abused.
Taxing it was easy at the DVLA Local Office - just change the V5 to PLG, hand it and the tax application form over, and the £160, and they give you a tax disc.
I may not have noticed had the tax remained on it, but I think I also read that the disabled driver has a duty to remove and surrender the nil-rated disc when they sell the car.

I think the whole disabled badge system is abused. Stonk, you can have my wife's free tax, free parking and mobility allowance (and flash merc if she had one) along with the crippling Rheumatoid arthritis, which means she can only walk a couple of hundred yards at a time without resting, in exchange for your good health. She would gladly give it all up to be normal again. I would not wish the suffering she goes through on anybody, not even you.
