these clever people who make these videos and have no idea about driving a cab make me laugh. Perhaps they should film this on a red route in Piccadilly with a bendy bus shoved up their arse!

@generalravon - These so called 'clever people' as you put it have to live everyday with a disability and this video is trying to offer some practical solutions and advice. I think if you were confined to a wheelchair you might feel differently

@Valrichards In San Francisco and other California Cities you can sue businesses who discriminate against you. Can you do that in the U.K. London and get say 2000 pounds for each discrimination. In U.S.A. they have a ADA law $4000. for each discrimination at businesses but if your on state benefits the state gets the money so only disabled not on benefits sue which is about only 10 people in the whole state who have thousands of suites, who are the disabled millionaires

@Valrichards

Have you ever had taxi cabs and buses drive passed you when they

see you in a wheelchair?

It happens a lot in San Francisco California U.S.A. Cabs almost

never take a wheelchair person unless it is at least $50. fair to

airport or doctor very far but nothing local not worth the trouble for

$5. fair. They say it is bad enough to wait a hour for such a fair

with a healthy person but a physical work up forget it.

Not that desperate.

I can tell you that if you try to use the extender ramp on uneven ground they are a right pain to fit together
