Rear loaders = accidents waiting to happen.

Of course you have evidence to back up that statement.

Not really.

The thing is they are cheaper and they take the larger wheelchairs.

1 Driver, 1 Wheelchair with occupant and A.N.Other.

That's it, no room for anyone else.

Yesterday I loaded a young lady in a wheelchair, both her parents, her brother, and a rather large assistance dog into my cab.

I would've needed three of them there nissans to do the same job.

Not room in there even for one carer after you have loaded the wheelchair user, and how often do you carry a wheelchair user on their own?

Oh, and one other thing.

Why the interest in wheelchair acessible Taxi's Skippy?

Won't be passed, rear loader.
