Mobility

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m one that can change the car tire if I can loosen up those tires nuts. Of course I’m not qualify as a mechanic, but I do know a few terms that won’t let me get cheated. I’m very fortunate that I can drive to anywhere that I like just as long as my car is functioning well. I do have a colleague that can’t drive and he is riding a motorbike for that purpose. How nice is that he can drive a car instead of a motorbike which would be troublesome during rainy season and he has to get under the sun all the time.

I admire those who are disable and yet they can still drive. I’ve ever met such an energetic person during my tour in Australia. He rented a special car that made for disable people who are using the wheelchair. There is one that provide such a service in the States -NMEDA which stand for The National Mobility Equiment Dealers Association.

NMEDA offers wheelchairs van and access mobility equipment. It allows the wheelchair bound disable to drive by themselves. NMEDA is a non-profit trade association that educate consumers on buying products from a qualified dealer, meaning one that can be trusted. It doesn’t sell anything but just promoting safe driving and equipment for the disabled people.Their dealers are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people.

I know of another ex-colleague who doesn’t even drive a motorbike but get the help of his family member to drive him around. But every time that he needed to get on the car, he has to be carried on to the MPV. But with NMEDA approved dealers equipment, I think he would be getting in and out of the car easily without assistant. What more NMEDA can help him in getting the right dealer to customized what he need! Isn’t that great!?

NMEDA can also help the elderly to get on the road again and gain those self-confidence that they’ve lost over time. I mean who won’t want that? I would! I would love to drive till the day I rested.

If you are in the States, you are much fortunately than anyone of us over in Malaysia, for one you can enjoy such service and do check out if there is a dealer near where you stay now.
