Disabled drivers can get a pass which allows free access to the toll
road
for three years. It costs a fiver for the admin.

Why should any disabled driver get free access, do they take up less
space
or create less pollution?
M6 price fixing meeting;
Public retaions director - "We need a ginick to sell this over priced
piece
of ****"
Finance director - "Everyone know that disabled drivers only ever drive to
the supermarket and post office. They get those nice big parking spaces
right next to the door. Once inside the supermarket, they spend the
disabled
benefit money that was handed to them at the post office"
Public relations director - "So?"
Finance director - "We give them free passes to use our new M6. The lazy
buggy boys will never actually use the motorway. Zero wear and tear, they
pay us for the admin, maximun spaz friendly publicity"
CEO - "Give that man a multi-million pound bonus, and slap an extra 5 quid
on the lorry toll just in case"
The End
From the number of Blue Badges in cars parked in meter bays I see stamped by
authorities miles outside Greater London, I'd say your assumption that
disabled drivers only go to the local shops in their cars is somewhat
flawed....
(Yes it is sad that I notice this, no I am not a traffic warden).
