Tiisetso Modre was involved in a motor vehicle accident two years ago, which resulted in his paraplegia. He thought he’d never drive again – but then he heard about the Driving Ambitions programme managed by QASA. After participating in the programme, Tiisetso recently achieved his goal to beome a proud, legal driver.
Before his accident, Tiisetso recalls that he didn’t take notice of persons with disabilities or their needs. Now, however, he hopes to advocate the importance of road safety and the consideration of persons with disabilities. Tiisetso would like to thank his driver trainer Des and the QASA Team for making this possible. QASA wishes Tiisetso well on his journey and fully supports his advocacy for road safety!
