Nor is there on the market any adequate substitute for the trike yet available in a way which can be readily bought.
There were the problems of disability and the appalling mishandling of the issue of the trike, which led to thousands of people becoming housebound.
But there are some disabled for whom, by reason of their disability, the trike has proved much more suitable than a four-wheeled vehicle.
Fourthly, is it not clear that as a result of the phasing out of trikes there will be a substantially increased demand for converted cars?
But those are not conclusive reasons in the eyes of the trike drivers, who are being deprived of their mobility following the phasing out policy.
I turn now to the phasing out of the trike and the stories about people being grounded.
No one who has a trike issued under the old scheme will be made immobile by the phasing out of the trike.
They would never have achieved the degree of mobility or usefulness as citizens that the trike has enabled them to achieve.
