Anybody see 'Helicopter Hero's' on BBC2 yesterday?
Discussion
I know its a daytime show, so most of you probably wont have seen it, but I tuned in out of curiosity when they said that it had a supercar being cut up after a crash.
The car in question was a new Nissan Skyline, which was 4 up and left the road having failed to negotiate a bend at 60-70mph.
Luckily there were only minor injuries, however when someone asked the driver if he was ok, he said that he couldn't feel anything as he was a paraplegic and the only way he'd be able to get out of the car was with his wheel chair. The car was fitted with hand controls as he'd been paralysed in a previous road accident.
I must admit, having been a Motability Consultant a few years ago at Renault, I have seen some funky mods to cars to allow disabled driver's to use them, but hand controls on a powerful £60k sports car? Respect to the bloke for not conforming to the modified Renault Kangoo norm, but I bet he's regretting it now.
