I'd have spilled more than just my soda How can you accidently get your wheelchair caught in the grill of a truck whilst passing in front of it?

jim_supra Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Lol, the poor guy. All i can think of though is what if the truck had to slam on suddenly (for a deer or something!!) and the wheelchair broke free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 PMSL Poor fella, I guess ironically despite being unlucky enough to be wheelchair bound his wheelchair saved his life. I Did something really stupid and embarresing once in Oxford. I parked outside a pub on Double yellows...you know how funny they are there about cars. I kept an eye out to make sure no traffic wardens came and gave me a ticket, but some member of the public came in and said 'Who the hells parked their car on Double yellows outside?' I just thought it was some Green Activist Cyclist type..you do get em! So I ignored it and carried on with my pint... I took a peak out of the window and saw a man struggling to get a man in a wheelchair up a steep kerb..he was trying to get the guy in the pub and id parked blocking the 'slight ramp' upto the narrow pavement.. I then went out and apologised and moved the Supra...the two were shouting abuse at me....so i bought em both a drink and had a long chat with em, so much so i didn't notice the traffic warden sticking a ticket on my car..so i guess i got my just deserts lol...never made that mistake again...! Difficult to understand the day to day challenges of wheelchair bound folk..but it made me a lot more aware..and i 'think' a bit more now when parking!
