Hi @keithb
Welcome to the community.
Although the disabled person doesn't have to be in the car for every journey, it should be used to benefit them.
Mobility has some info on their website:Misuse would include:Not giving the disabled person the benefit of the carDriving whilst uninsured or bannedUsing the car in a criminal actLending, sub-leasing or selling the carUsing the car for unauthorised business purposes, for example, as a taxi or delivery vehicleNot taking proper care of your car
Mobility cars can be vital lifeline to people - so I think it's really important that the scheme is protected for those that need it.
