FWIW I’ve been a wheelchair user for 15 years now and this used to p1$$ me off immensely. It wasn’t until I was out with another wheelie mate that he reminded me that not every disability is obvious and each condition has its unique challenges. Not being contentious, just mindful of the fact that there are more than one type of disability and they’re not all visible as mine. I learned a valuable lesson in humility that day and I’m grateful for it.

Peace & love,

Steve Raspberry

Mrs Familyman walks with a stick on a good day, and is a wheelchair user on a bad on due to MS. She rightly deserves her blue badge.

I don't have full use of my right arm and hand due to an incident years ago from. Which I've endured 3 operations and have a load of metalwork inserted. As a result I struggle manoeuvring into tight spaces so enquired about a blue badge.

They told me I'm not entitled to one with just one arm like that. If I had both arms like that, they say, then I would be eligible. I'm cool with the decision I was only enquiring and had no real expectations.

It does make me wonder thought about how daft the rules can be. After all, if I had 2 arms like that I wouldn't be able to drive in the first place

not quite true i once met a man in the garden centre who had no arms at all he was driving a converted ford galaxy with a turntable which he controlled with his feet steering by turning the turntable plate and tipping forward to accelerate and back to brake . he drove off quite smartly i was truly amazed by his skill operating the vehicle iv never seen him since but i always look out for him to congratulate him on coping with such a disability.

Well, I stand corrected.

id be curious to know the mechanisms for gaining entry, starting, engaging drive etc. Would be a fair bit of engineering there I guess.

proximity sensors operate door poppers. and foot switches to start and engage drive it was an automatic if doubt that an able bodied person would be able to drive it without some instruction and practice.
