Re: Motability...what is X?
I remember at a training session 20 years ago being incredulous when someone tried to tell me that around 20% of the population has a disability. That's loads but they had the stats - I checked today and found this from the ONS.

I guess some of them will get the allowance and use it to buy cars. They better stay in their own spaces mind.
In 2021, across both England and Wales, the proportion of disabled people was 17.8% (10.4 million). The proportion of people that are disabled has decreased 1.7 percentage points from 2011, when it was 19.5% (10.0 million).

Re: Motability...what is X?
It's not (just) disabled drivers. I can think of two people with motability cars provided because they have a disabled child (I don't know how disabled because I never met the children). And I expect that might generalise to encompass other dependents.
