Default M6 toll, good news

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).

I don't assume any such thing, and I'm not the Finance director. There is no
logical reason why disabled drivers should be given free passes to drive on
the new M6. Hell, some disabled people are almost as normal as me.
It was just a sarcastic guess at their profit motivated reasoning behind the
decision.
