I have become increasingly aware of the things that I can do and take for granted which Sue now struggles with. One such area for Sue is the simple pleasure of driving a car.
Therefore we have a new addition to the family, a lovely little car for Sue. Why? Firstly because of the issues listed above and secondly because she’s worth it!
- Getting in and out – having room to swing your legs round before attempting to stand and, if the seat is too low, standing up itself then also becomes an issue.
- Steering – with weakened arm muscles heavy steering that may seem normal to you and me becomes an issue.
- Changing gears – for the same reason as the point above.
- Looking over your shoulder – twisting and turning especially when reversing is an issue and therefore good visibility out of the back window is important.
