The benefits of the exemption from road tax and fuel duty under the scheme should remain with the vehicle when it is sold on. People who should qualify for the scheme should be those with a primary medical certificate, a measure which could cut out much of the ambiguity.

As for authorised and unauthorised sellers of adapted vehicles, I do not agree with Senator Paul Bradford’s assertion about the Del Boys and Rodneys of this world selling such cars. Last week I gave the example of a person who owned an adapted vehicle who had passed away and a neighbour with a disability bought it. I do not believe this should be stopped. If someone has a primary medical certificate, he or she should qualify for the scheme.
