Driving Ambitions, a driving training programme run by the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA), provides individuals who have mobility impairments with an opportunity to learn how to drive in an adapted vehicle.
Lessons take place in these vehicles using either hand controls or with a drive-from-a-wheelchair function. The aim is to help candidates obtain their licence and drive independently – autonomy that will increase their freedom, improve employment opportunities and change their lives.
The service is now available in the Western Cape! For more information, contact QASA on 031 767 0348 or at projectcoordinator@qasa.co.za.
Ari Seirlis is the CEO of the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA) and managing editor of Rolling Inspiration. email: ceo@qasa.co.za
