Disorders & Physical Limitations
Others told you that you can't. Now let us show that you can.
To be safe, when driving, you need to use many skills to control your vehicle, while being aware of what's happening around you at all times. It’s a complicated task. For this reason, there are many medical conditions that can influence your ability to drive. Any disorder or physical condition can interfere with the alertness, strength, physical coordination, agility, judgment, attention, knowledge, or skill necessary to safely operate a motor vehicle. Driving is a complex, fast-paced activity. In fact, a typical driver makes 20 decisions per mile, with less than half a second to respond to changes in the radway.

Mobility Limitations
A person’s ability to operate a vehicle without pain or difficulty is an essential part of safe driving. Health or medical conditions that make it difficult to operate the car’s controls, adjust positions in the car, turn from side to side to check traffic, turn the steering wheel easily or react quickly to what is happening become safety hazards in many driving situations. This is especially true when driving in high-speed traffic, at busy intersections and whenever pedestrians or cyclists are present.
Thanks to advanced technologies and vehicle adaptation it is possible to drive with permanent limb and spinal disabilities, including cases of amputation, severe arthritis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy amongst other limiting disabilities..
