I have just seen an item saying with a blue badge displayed in a motorhome. You get a 50% discount.... Then I hear only if you are exempt from road tax... My partner has a mobility car from a dealer so pays road tax. Now it seems it depends how disabled you are as to what car you are in.. Seems the number bridge its free with no tax but you pay if you have. Severn bridge is free but you have to ask and show badge to cashier...... Any ideas. Thanks

I have no idea, but personally reckon you should pay the same as me, same space needed on board after all?

But a call to Calmac will soon get you the answer that really counts
