My name is shaun and have just become a new member. I have a P1 and iam also disabled after a accident. I drive my P1 hand controls and an infa red clutch system. I was wondering if there are any other disabled members.

Good on ya! Are you coming to NM5 on the 29th?
Some of the mods for disabled drivers are amazing these days. One of my neighbours is a Thalidamide victim, and she drives her Rover 25 just using her feet and a small joystick!
Cheers

Welcome ;-)
Although I can go one better than a hand-controlled P1.
My cousin's husband is a city trader, has been in a wheelchair since childhood and got fed up with driving 'vans', so had a £145,000 Bentley Turbo converted!!!

Always worth consulting a solicitor, although 96 in a 70 should just be a fixed penalty fine and a nice collection of points (5 or 6) 
I know a very good traffic solicitor if you want one.

Hi Pramrace,
Well I've got only a palm and thumb, no fingers on my right hand. Don't really think of it as disabled though.
MY97 5-door, the only modification needed was a dealer fitted prodrive quickshift 8-) Oh and a Powerstation geometry/bumpsteer was also recently a must-have aid!
While I'm writing this reminds me; I just got a quick notice of intended procescution for (96 mph) exceeding 70mph (camera) probably the other side of the road digital ones at 8:56am 11/04/2001 A43 Northamptonshire. No conditional offer enclosed. I have a clean license, this is the first recorded offence in over 12 years of driving.
Should I:
a) Reply and state I was driving
b) Consult a lawyer. Write to request the evidence to check who was driving my car that day, etc.
cheers,
Rob.
