I drive a breakdown truck and we sometimes have to recover these adapted vehicles from the customers houses to dealers or conversion specialists, the technology ranges from very basic to amazing. They are awkward as hell to jump in and drive though, many are adapted for wheelchair users to drive so don’t have a drivers seat. Imagine squatting on one leg and driving with the other from a driveway you’re not familiar with to a place you can load, not easy!

Cheers, Luke
