	Slow Travel Italy - Accessible Rome, introduction to wheelchair travel, what to expect
		Although I didn't change the wheels on my wheelchair to the wide tires, it is something I recommend.
		Overall taxis are fairly reasonable in terms of cost with most fares running between five to eight euro from the Centro storico to the major sites.
		The rule in Rome is taxis only pick up passengers at recognized cab stands or in response to an actual call.

	USA/Canada Taxi Purchases
		The reason is that the great number of older taxis that plied for hire in London underwent a dramatic change at the turn of the century in that all taxis had to be wheelchair compliant at turn of year 2000.
		The basic problem with the earlier taxis, a design problem endemic to British cars, was that of rust, and sadly many eminently restorable taxis ended their life broken up for parts or scrapped as not many folk considered a working taxi as worthy of preservation.
		From here the taxi is then completely repainted in fresh 2 pack colour, then at this point the interior is checked for tears and split seats which are all replaced with factory fresh items.

	Department for Transport - Local authority taxi and private hire licensing policies 2001: Accessibility
		Although the minimum turning circle of a taxi does not seem to concern most licensing authorities, the number to which it is important corresponds with the number of authorities that currently accept purpose-built taxis.
		If the results in Table 9 are to be believed, then pre-booking taxis (usually by telephone to an office and thence to a driver by radio) is now more common (outside London) than engaging taxis at ranks, but the proportion of taxi trips initiated by hailing has not changed significantly.
		Only a handful of authorities claimed that taxi tariffs were used in a strategic role, and none of those appeared to have the objective of promotion of integrated public transport.

		Be sure to move your chair away from the lift so the driver can restow it safely.

	Chinese Three Wheelers - Digitallydo > China > Design
		This little car is a bit unusual, as it's not based on a motorcycle or a tractor, but is a rear wheel drive, fully enclosed vehicle that happens to have just one wheel up front.
		There's also a four wheel version of this tractor that's quite common, but that'll be on the "Cars and trucks" page.
		It's rear wheel drive, and has double wheels under the bed, so I don't doubt that it could haul a ton - slowly and without braking on any sharp downhill curves.

	Advice on taking a taxi test
		The taxi assessment test is reflective of modern driving practices, the standard is set at a level suitable for the full driving licence holder, which is therefore higher than the learner driver test.
		It is important that you do not adjust your driving to what you may feel the examiner would expect to see, do not drive in an unnatural manner.
		It is important that you can demonstrate all the principles of safety and security - if seat belts, wheel belts or wheel clamps etc are fitted then they should be in good working order and applied whatever style of wheelchair accessible vehicle you bring on test.

	Wheelchair Reviews
		Front wheel drives are usually slightly more limited in their forward speed and feel as though they have a "tail-wagging" symptom though with time users become comfortable with it and front wheel drives seem to be able to handle difficult outdoor terrain easier than a rear or mid/center wheel chair.
		Rear wheel drive chairs have excellent torque, forward speed, and range however they are less maneuverable tight spaces and their front casters can become bogged down in more difficult outdoor terrain.
		4x4 and track drive chairs are designed purely for the outdoor enthusiast and to go where other chairs could not hope to wheel.
