Disabled Drivers

Disability advocacy can be challenging since disability issues are not often on legislators minds and the population isn't powerful. Not having other people with the same problem to give credence to the issue makes it even harder. The regulations PennDOT makes for drivers of adapted vans are meaningless. There is an approved list of places to go for state inspections. The list is filled with vendors who no nothing about adapted vans, are uncomfortable working on adapted vans, or not approved inspection sites. This is true because I have called places on the list. Even more interesting is the place we are told to go (shops where the hand controls were installed)are often not approved inspection sites. I want to know who created this list, I doubt if anyone will take responsibility. Finding people in my situation would be nice but due to HIPPA regulations there will be no help from companies who have disabled drivers.
