Yes
Some of us live in areas where public transport has never operated. When I was last on Job Seekers Allowance, I had to drive four miles to get a bus to the Job Centre.
For some of us, a car is a necessity, not a luxury.

yes you are but you cannot claim anything towards it- only the equivalent of zone travel on a weekly basis. Nothing towards, tax, insurance, MOT and servicing. that's all up to you if you choose to take on the added expense you cannot expect the social services to pay for a 'luxury' you cannot afford to keep on the road. That's why they'll give you money back for the cheapest mode of transport and like i said before- the rest is up to you to pay

Having a car isn't counted in your claim - only cash assets, savings, shares, pensions and property and other income. It dones't stop you getting JSA but it will eat into your money.

YES.
Nothing else to add, but best wishes in finding a job. Good luck.

......no and you're not allowed to breathe either!
That may have been a bit sarcastic........but if you can afford to pay for it (including insurance & tsx etc) then yes!!!

I imagine you can if you can afford to run it.
