Many disabled people are perfectly capable of driving, but need to be assessed by an Occupational Therapist. Other disabled people may not drive, but require a modified vehicle to provide access, either in a wheelchair, or just with the aid of a seat which swivels, or extends out of the vehicle, or even becomes a detachable wheelchair.
