Re: USING OWN CAR
If the car had been specially adapted due to a disability......possibly.
Why don't you ask her. It is unikely anyone on here is going to give you a definitive answer.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: USING OWN CAR
I would imagine she is using her car under the RM bond agreement just the same as anyone else who is foolish enough to use theirs as a RM van. It will still be all her own fuel and running costs etc. 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: USING OWN CAR
What isolated cases may exist where Royal Mail would retain private car use?
There may be a limited number of cases where it is suitable for an individual to retain their private car for use on delivery. DOMs may exceptionally need to address short term operational issues or ongoing health problems typically covered within DDA (for example, where the use of a personally adapted vehicle presents a more suitable option for the individual and supports inclusivity in the workplace). All cases will be assessed on an individual basis.
