By the end of 2021, there were nearly 90 million people with disabilities registered in China, and most of the disabled felt very inferior because of their physical defects and were reluctant to go out. Some young people also want to live like normal people and take the initiative to go out of their homes and contact with society.
Several netizens saw a special couple in a service area in Sichuan, the couple was only 1.2 meters tall, and they were disabled at first glance. The couple rested in the high-speed service area, after which the man opened the car door and prepared to drive on the road.
Other car owners in the service area were very curious to see the 1.2-meter-tall man ready to drive. The owner of the car is so short, his legs can't step on the accelerator, how to drive? Someone took the initiative to ask the owner of the car, Mr. Liu: I see that your body is a little special, how do you usually drive?
Mr. Liu opened the car door and let passers-by visit his cab, it turned out that Mr. Liu's car had been modified, and the throttle and brake pedals had been changed to manual control. A special gear lever is installed near the steering wheel to control the throttle and brake, which is fueled by lifting up and brakes by pressing down.
When Mr. Liu drives, like ordinary car owners, he generally controls the steering wheel with his left hand and the accelerator and brake lever with his right hand. Passers-by asked him if it would feel inconvenient to drive like this, and Mr. Liu laughed and said that he had not tried to press the accelerator and brake with his feet, and did not know whether it was the same to control the gear lever with his hand.
Mr. Liu's car has been specially modified, the throttle and brake lever are set on the right side of the steering wheel, Mr. Liu feels that it is very convenient to control, and the reaction of his hands is definitely more flexible than his feet. Mr. Liu said that he usually drives on the road strictly abide by the traffic rules, and has never violated the rules for 6 years with a driver's license.
Mr. Liu, a native of Fuyang, Anhui Province, was born with dwarfism and was only 1.2 meters tall. Later, Mr. Liu entered a performance troupe as an actor and met a girl from Sichuan, Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang had an accident when he was young, leaving his body disabled and only 1.2 meters tall.
After Mr. Liu and his wife got married, the two had a particularly good relationship and had a child. Before getting married, Mr. Liu got a driver's license for the disabled, and he bought a Baojun 730 and changed the car into a special model suitable for disabled people to drive. Mr. Liu is particularly confident in his driving skills and calls himself an old driver.
Can a person with a disability take a driver's license?
In 2010, the Ministry of Public Security passed a regulation that allows persons with disabilities to apply for a motor vehicle driver's license. The relevant departments allow people with right lower limbs or double lower limb disabilities to apply for a driver's license, and as long as they can sit and stand on their own, they can apply for small automatic passenger cars for the disabled.
Cars for the disabled are different from ordinary cars, and the relevant departments will install auxiliary devices for the physical characteristics of the disabled. Most cars add a manual controller next to the steering wheel, as long as the gear is adjusted, the throttle is pulled up and the brake is pulled down.
Editor's Comments:
Whether the disabled can drive on the road has always been a controversial topic, some netizens believe that the disabled are not healthy, driving on the road is very dangerous, it is not recommended that the disabled drive.
Xiaobian believes that as long as the disabled can obtain a driver's license according to law, they have the qualifications to drive on the road, and the relevant departments can introduce relevant policies to specially design vehicles suitable for disabled people to drive. People with disabilities are human beings, and we should not discriminate against them.
