Ste: taking his powerchair beyond home

Ste Purse describes life after receiving an adapted vehicle, including the parking constraints he discovered on a first longer journey.

First-person contribution by Ste Purse on motoring marketplace MotaClarity. The article praises named vehicle and adaptation providers; this summary does not endorse them.

A vehicle changed family outings

Ste could take his powerchair further from home and move beside his wife rather than being pushed ahead in a manual chair. He describes more family visits and trips connected with work and campaigning.

New freedom came with new measurements

A car park height barrier was too low for his vehicle. He also needed substantial space behind it to deploy the lift. These details make the story useful beyond its positive outcome: vehicle dimensions and loading space remained part of every journey.
