    Possible Vehicle Adaptations for People with Disabilities

    Problems with mobility are major barriers to disability-inclusive development. For people with disabilities, the lack of access to handicap-friendly transportation prevents them from becoming independent. It also interferes with their function in society. A solution to help individuals and families with members who are handicapped is to adapt or modify vehicles to meet the needs of those with physical impairments. Adapted vehicles allow drivers, passengers, and caregivers to get in and out of a car faster and easier. They also encourage independence, offer comfort, and improve convenience.

    Access Improvement

    One of the most common vehicle adaptations is to make it easy for wheelchair users to enter and exit cars and vans. According to reliable cerebral palsy resources, modifying family cars can make it stress-free for parents and caregivers to put a child in a wheelchair in the vehicle without compromising safety. It is also feasible to install a hoist or lift to facilitate loading and unloading. A converted vehicle may fit a wheelchair directly or the individual can transfer to a seat and stow the equipment in the trunk.

    Inside the vehicle, there are seating options that may be available to a person with partial or complete mobility issues. Swivel seats are possible allowing a car seat to turn 90 degrees so that it is facing the door. This feature is helpful for those with hip problems making it easier to sit in the vehicle and turn to the front.

    Driving Controls

    The ability to drive gives a person independence because they can go where and when they want without relying on others or public transportation. Drivers with a handicap or reduced mobility in one or more limbs can make use of different modifications to make driving easier. For example, hand controls can be fitted such as a lever that you can pull to accelerate and push to brake. If you find that pushing and pulling takes too much effort, you can opt for an electronic accelerator. There are different types available to assist drivers with limited mobility such as a trigger, over ring, or ghost ring accelerator. Pedals remain useable as well so that family members or carers can drive the car using the traditional way. In addition, secondary controls for wipers, lights, turn signals, and so on can be installed near the steering wheel for immediate access and operation.

    Vehicle modifications are valuable to people with disabilities. They foster independence enabling individuals to drive with a handicap and make it hassle-free to transport passengers in wheelchairs.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
