A leading UK car manufacturer is LOOKING FOR YOU to help develop their next generation of vehicles for 2020 and beyond.

Events are taking place in Sutton Coldfield and Esher from Monday 17th to Sunday 23rd February, with a £100 as a thanks for taking part.
Interested?
Get in touch with Alicia of Kay at BEAM Fieldwork on 0161 850 9864.

Not something I could reach, but over the years, I noticed the vehicles at disability road shows. Too dear, too bulky, virtually never including a drive-in, self-driving possibility. Virtually never really made for disabled people , but instead needing complex and extremely costly individual retro-fitting.
Being disabled doesn't mean getting a supply of servants , certainly not a personal chauffeur!
Things could sensibly be included in standard design for the whole population, including the female majority, and for the times when people are not as strong, through illness, age, or accident. For example, hand brakes which average women cannot easily operate. -
I’m sorry I cannot attend. It seems like a nice event though.
