I have a friend whose husband also had a wheel chair and she has an adapter in her small car for the chair to be lifted into the back. They lose all their storage room, but it works for them.

For this reason we had to have some of the chairs modified that we used in the school as they ran rather faster than the thought processes of some of our drivers! Those smart enough to use the faster gears had to be banned from using those gears indoors. One of my duties was teaching the youngsters to drive their chairs - suddenly the world was opened up to them. In my experience it was always the mischievous ones who learned most quickly - you should do just great!

By the sounds of it you had better have a roll bar installed, side airbags, and a 5 point racing harness seat belt. If pedestrians are a problem just have them install a cow catcher on the front of your chair. Worked for old locomotives a century ago. Not calling you an old locomotive of course but I'm sure you can see the logical parallel. I've only ever driven rear loading wheel chair vans but seeing those side loaders in operation I always thought that was a better idea. Say, have you thought about putting a blade on the front.
