(Not Moderated)
The group is for the discussion of all aspects of transport for disabled
people, including Motability operations and policies as well as individual
vehicles provided or offered under the scheme. Posters may also discuss any
difficulties they have encountered or share their experiences regarding
other transport matters or solutions. All modes of transport for disabled
people are relevant to the group including issues arising from the use of
third party vehicles or public transport. Provision of wheelchairs and
special mobility aids (and their use) as part of publicly accessible
schemes is also a relevant topic.
Advertising
Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:
Suppliers of goods and services relevant to disabled transport in the UK
may post an invitation to visit their web site or request details.
It should be of four lines or fewer and not posted more than once
every 3 months. The subject line should begin "ADVERT:
",
except for vacancy adverts, when it should begin "JOB:
".
Binaries & Formatting
Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are
forbidden. Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which
a pointer may be posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP)
may be used where authentication is important and should be as
short as possible.
Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly
