Concern Over Safety of Three Wheeled Disability Cars


Judy Finnigan reports for Anglia TV, chatting to Douglas Campbell, a wheelchair user and disabled driver, and campaigner for disabled people. Mr Campbell expresses concern over the safety of the “Invacar” - a small vehicle adapted for disabled drivers, notable for its ice-blue colouring and fibreglass body. The three-wheeled car has no room for passengers, and is unstable in high winds, leaving drivers vulnerable to accidents.
