With the wide range of wheelchair vans available, disabled driving is becoming more and more common. Whether you\u2019re behind the wheel of a full-size mobility van or in the driver\u2019s seat of the agile Ford Transit Connect, it pays to keep a few safety tips in mind. Obviously, all of the standard hints apply: wear a seatbelt, be aware of the other drivers around you and keep your attention focused on the road. However, a few additional steps can help to keep you \u2013 and your family \u2013 safe while you\u2019re out on the road this summer. In this post, we\u2019re going to tell you three ways that you can driver safer in your new handicap van.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Practice driving in a safe place<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you hit the road, take your new van for a spin in a safe, low-traffic area. Not only will this help you improve your driving skills, it will ensure that you are comfortable \u2013 and familiar \u2013 with how your\u00a0<\/span>handicap van<\/span><\/a><\/u>\u00a0handles.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Take a driving test<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While a driving test isn\u2019t usually required, enrolling can give you the supervised practice that you need to keep your passengers safe. Additionally, it never hurts to increase your familiarity with both the rules and etiquette of the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Enroll in disabled driving classes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve haven\u2019t been behind the wheel for a particularly long period of time, it may help to refresh your memory. Driving classes are a great way to boost your confidence and become comfortable with how your handicap van handles.<\/span><\/p>\n
