WHEELCHAIR USER as a PASSENGER
Like James Bond's martini, shaken not stirred
During the journey
Sometimes it feels scary - manual wheelchair moves from side to side when you are still strapped in at the back.
When the taxi goes round bends the chair tips, this happens all the time though in every cab.
Drive gently, remember that the passenger is facing backwards so can't anticipate changes in speed or direction.
Don't accelerate hard.
Don't corner suddenly hard.
Remember that the passenger is facing backwards so can't give directions.
