I have an Aunty who is single at 37 due to the fact that she's a cripple. She walks around with crouches. She literally can not move her toes but the legs are there. Just there.

Yesterday, a kind-hearted man promised to buy her a car and she asked me the kinda car that will suit her. Honestly, I don't know. I don't know much able cripples and/or physically challenged people.

So, I decided to come here to seek your opinion.

Which car can a cripple in Nigeria drive?

There is nothing offensive there. How do you want to describe a cripple.

Does she work or run any profitable business?

The man can do something else for her instead of risking her life

Knowledge is power seek. I believe you are using an internet enable phone.

Whether they drive is one thing.. Whether it's safe allowing them to drive is another...

buygala:


None.... Make she no go cripple or even kill other people

She can get the car and get someone to drive her around..

If she can't use any of her legs, how does she intend to use just two hands to operate the accelerator, brake, steering, gear selector, turn signals, etc?...

If one of her legs was functional, preferably the right one, she won't have much of a problem driving conventional auto-gear vehicles..

But in this instance, kindly tell your aunty it's a matter of urgent national security that she never drives a vehicle....

The best for her would be a van like a sienna or Odyssey because the van or which ever car she chose to drive will need modifications..

You want to give the mechanics some space to install/modify what they need to be modified.

There's somepeople that drives with their scooter in the driver seat (that is using their scooter as a drivers seat).

There's a company in the U.S that does that wheel chair accessible van/ cars, I think it's called BraunAbility.

You can check out the company and see what they do, that might give you some ideas also.

I will post the link to the company if I find it.

You don't use "modern" English without sense. In communication, there's location-based context. Which means you choose words based on how they're widely understood in your locale. Some words that are absolutely fine in the UK might be offensive in Australia.

Some words that are offensive in the UK might be better understood here in Nigeria. And when you talk to Nigerians, use what they understand.

Go and face a Nigerian audience and start calling them "people of color". Then tell me how majority would react. We don't have to be zombies! Even in modern dictionaries, there are some words that are officially regarded as "NIGERIAN English".

You do not say cripple. Gosh Nigerians

oroagba:
I am disabled and can't use my legs to drive, but I've been driving since 2001. I love driving and have taken journeys of many hours alone or with friends and family. Almost any automatic transmission car and be fitted with hand controls. I've always used locally fabricated hand controls. Sedan or SUV can be considered, just get a reliable type and model.

I'll be glad to answer any questions. Best of luck to your aunty and may God bless the car donor.

By the way, try using Disabled instead of crippled.

No need to sugar coat that word. A cripple is a cripple.
