How is a vehicle driven by a disabled person different from a regular vehicle?

1.Design and use: Disabled cars are designed with a greater focus on convenience and safety, for example, they are often equipped with assistive devices such as hand controllers, electric lifts, etc., which make it easier for people with disabilities to get on and off and operate the vehicle.

Ordinary cars, on the other hand, usually only consider driving comfort and performance.

2.Driving mode: Disabled people with both lower limbs or right lower limbs can use their feet to step on the accelerator, brake and clutch of ordinary cars, so they need to install special facilities when driving vehicles, such as the lower right side of the steering wheel of the modified car is connected to the brake and accelerator operating levers, and the brake device and refueling device are controlled by hand with the sound of the operating lever, which is convenient for the disabled to control with one hand.

Whereas, ordinary cars usually operate the accelerator and brake with their feet.

3.** and availability: Disabled cars are generally more expensive than regular cars, which makes it unaffordable for many people with disabilities to buy.

In addition, their use also requires certain professional skills and training, otherwise it may pose a safety hazard. In contrast, regular cars are more widespread and accessible.

Overall, there are some significant differences between vehicles driven by people with disabilities and ordinary vehicles in terms of design and use, driving style and** usability.

Hearing-impaired people use the same vehicles as normal people. The disabled with both lower limbs or right lower limbs cannot step on the accelerator, brake, and clutch of ordinary cars with their feet, so the vehicles they drive need to be equipped with special facilities. At the lower right of the steering wheel of the modified car, there are more operating levers connected to the brake and accelerator than ordinary cars, so that the operating lever converts the brake device and refueling device controlled by the feet of able-bodied people into manual control, making up for the shortcomings of students with lower limb disabilities.

At the same time, a steering assist handle is specially installed on the steering wheel, which is convenient for people with disabilities to control with one hand.

Of course, a driver's license is required for a disabled person to drive a small-displacement disability car. In December 2008, the Ministry of Public Security promulgated the newly revised Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses (Order No. 111 of the Ministry of Public Security, hereinafter referred to as Order No. 111), and from April 1, 2010, five categories of persons with disabilities in the right lower limbs, disabilities in both lower limbs, and hearing impairment, missing thumb of the right hand or mutilated distal fingers are allowed to drive cars. Due to physical limitations, disabled people with right lower limbs and both lower limbs can apply for a C5 driver's license (the permitted driving type is a small automatic transmission passenger car for the disabled), and disabled people such as upper limbs and deaf people cannot drive a car (according to the provisions of Article 11 of Section 2 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses of the Ministry of Public Security:

Both ears are 50 cm away from the tuning fork to distinguish the direction of the sound source. Those who have hearing impairment but can meet the above conditions by wearing hearing aids can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for a small car or a small automatic transmission car. The specific requirements for disabled people to drive small displacement disabled vehicles are as follows:

Hearing: Both ears are 50 cm away from the tuning fork to distinguish the direction of the sound source. Those who have hearing impairment but can meet the above conditions by wearing hearing aids can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for a small car or a small automatic transmission car.

Upper limbs: The thumbs of both hands must be sound, and the other fingers of each hand must have three fingers, and the limbs and fingers have normal motor function. However, if the distal finger is mutilated or the right thumb is missing, you can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for a small car or a small automatic transmission car.

Lower limbs: both lower limbs are sound and have normal motor function, and the unequal length shall not be greater than 5 cm. However, if the left lower limb is missing or the motor function is lost, you can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for a small automatic transmission car.

Those who lack or lose motor function in the right lower limb or both lower limbs but are able to sit and stand on their own may apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for a small automatic passenger car for the disabled.

According to China's regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, those who have diseases and physical defects that hinder safe driving are not allowed to apply for a motor vehicle driver's license. To apply for driving a manual transmission car, the thumbs of both hands of the upper limbs must be sound, and the other fingers of each hand must have three fingers sound, and the limbs and fingers have normal motor function. The unequal length of the lower limbs shall not be greater than 5 cm, and the right lower limb shall be sound when applying to drive an automatic transmission car.

In this regard, the staff of the inspection department of the vehicle management institute explained that only people with a certain disability in their left leg can apply for a C2 driver's license only if they pass the physical examination. However, if the entire lower limb is not able to move, you will definitely not be able to apply for a driver's license.

After the implementation of the new "Regulations", there will be five categories of disabled people who can drive motor vehicles, and all types of disabled people can drive the following types of motor vehicles.

First, people with a disability in the left lower limb socks can apply for a small automatic transmission vehicle quasi-driving type (C2) to drive a small and micro automatic transmission passenger car and a light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicle.

Second, persons with disabilities in the right lower limb can apply for the quasi-driving type (C5) of a small automatic passenger car for the disabled, and drive a small and micro automatic passenger car for the disabled.

Third, persons with disabilities in both lower limbs can apply for a small automatic transmission passenger car for the disabled to drive a small and micro automatic transmission passenger car for the disabled (C5) to drive a small and micro automatic transmission passenger car for the disabled.

Fourth, persons with hearing impairment who have heard to meet the specified requirements after wearing hearing aids can apply for a small car (C1) quasi-driving type to drive small and micro passenger vehicles and light and micro trucks; Or apply for a small automatic transmission (C2) quasi-driving type, and drive a small and micro automatic transmission passenger car and a light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicle.
