Disabled people do own cars, disabled people do drive cars, disabled people do sell cars, you know? A disabled person selling a Volvo car or a member selling a disabled persons car on their behalf may quite well advertise it in the Disabled section. Hence why people look - disabled or not. I would imagine many car owners have indeed purchased a disabled adapted car, when they were not disabled. Regards |

Hi Phil, greetings from Copenhagen, and thanks. Your know your disabled when your opinion mean less than others & they really do think of you as inferior, even though they know absolutely nothing about you or your disability, for example, you may have a good standard of education, a good degree , perhaps even qualified in other fields, like the law or medicine, or like an instructor rating, for full instrument (multi engine jet ) or anything else of note, perhaps having had to forgo a chosen career because of disability, but to them your just a 'gimp'! These are the sort that give you disapproving stares, tuts, comments, shouts etc. just as you pull up into a disabled parking bay, which is closer to the store than their parking spot - poor things ( i'd swop my disabled bay for being able to walk properly again any day ) The irony is that they think that they are in some way superior to you, but viewed by normal, fair minded people , they are in fact inferior in both thought & deed. Top tip is not to get annoyed & have the last laugh, be strong, be calm, (belittle if you can possibly do it without them even noticing ) but best of all ignore them - they hate that. Regards.

Hi Mike
Agree with you, wife is disabled and often wants to go home when we've been out not for long because people look down their noses at her, as if she shouldn't be there, I keep telling her don't let them win you've just as much right to go out as they have. Obviously the media doesn't help with all these "benefit" programs portraying the disabled as scroungers, she worked over 35 years till an injury in the 80s reared its ugly head, specialist was amazed she kept going for as long as she did, but it won! Take care Mick

I can relate to you here, as my mother was exactly the same. She enjoyed going out although some other peoples attitudes gave rise to her deciding she wanted to go back home. A very annoying thing was when people would ask me what she wanted, although being fair and reasonable, this was more so the fact a lot of people are unsure as to how to approach a person with a disability. It is they that feel uncomfortable. As you say though others just saw her as an 'inconvenience'. Very sad really. Further the amount of people that took it upon themselves to wheel her out of the way when she was shopping, just so they could get to the shelf in front of her, was unbelievable. I would always challenge these ignorant people, although that initself also upset my mother as she felt she was the cause, and felt she should not be there. Regards |

The 'Lounge' is still full of argument, some friendly ( long may this continue ) & some just inflammatory - I think that I shall spend less time there & more time here, & try to contribute more to this section from now on , because, as I see it, we need to support Volvo as they are great supporters of the disabled ,through the choices of cars with low deposits, now available through Motability for instance - they really must be commended for bringing in the XC60, and maybe I'll open a thread on it? I'm sorry to hear about Mrs. Spits accident and her encounters with 'the uninitiated ', to some it can be very depressing being thought of as being different , but I say 'vivre le difference' Mrs S. - we're still the same people, we might now look a little different & we may have to live our lives a little differently, but so what, we're the same inside as we always were! Different doesn't mean 'inferior ' ! Best regards to you both.

You're so right, just need to convince her.
Got the XC60 so she can get in and out easier, it's a great car for that and big enough to get her wheelchair in. Excellent discounts too and because she is in a wheelchair when outside the house for everything, got the VAT back which made the car affordable. Keep up the good work with this forum, it's appreciated and I hope all goes well with you and yours. Cheers Mick Ps I showed her this and it brought a smile to her face, she's a fighter and survivor, don't know if I could be as strong as her! Hope this has given her a boost and her fighting spirit back. The school were always a bit scared when she turned up, she would tell Them where they were going wrong didn't mince her words!

I view 'different' as being superior.
