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?

Some people resent others getting what they don't.



I don't begrudge anyone getting something that I can't, both of my parents
are registered disabled, but I don't understand the logic of it. How does
a
disable person cause either less pollution or less congestion?

What's pollution or congestion got to do with it? The toll is for providing
an alternative, quicker, route around Birmingham, nothing more. The
exemption for disabled drivers is a PR stunt. The logic being that disabled
drivers really_need_ their_cars.

Filling the new motorway with badly driven Micras will do wonders for
transit times.
