My wife was advised to start looking for her next #motability car much earlier than usual - so we've been to visit 4 car dealers in #leicester today.

Three of the four had no disabled parking places available for their customers.
Vauxhall & MG had cones preventing access to the disabled spaces.
Renault had no parking spaces for anyone - the only obvious disabled space had a demonstrator car parked in it.
Hyundai passed the test (and were extremely welcoming & helpful).

I think this shows how they view not only their disabled customers, but all customers.
It's a disgrace.

More next week.

This entire country does absolutely everything to bend over backwards for drivers, unless you're disabled.

This is appalling that disabled people are still treated like this - for years, plus years since the Board's resignation in protest.
