Wheelchair Electric

I feel sorry for handicapped people who are in a wheelchair but sometimes when I am walking by them or if I am on the bus, they would run my feet over with the electric wheelchair and not watch where they are going!!!!! So is that still rude of them?! I don’t care if they are in a wheelchair and handicapped or not, that doesn’t give them the right to not watch what they are doing?! Its called having manners.

It's rude if they deliberately did it and even ruder if they noticed but didn't apologise.

SCV's 2002 version of electric wheelchair!! User Kleanorfuzz has been blocked, so there is no need to respond to his comments anymore. Just ...

I know you can get a dui on a bike or skate board, I am just curious. I just happened to see a drunk person opperating an electric wheelchair today. He was all over the place, in the bushes, in the street. I asked him if he wanted help but he said no in a drunken slur. He said his apartment complex was two miles from the bar and he would make it home in his wheelchair. Then he ran in to the curb. I got him up and going again, but he was really weaving.

Okay well i want to sell on ebay and electric wheelchair that is brand new but how would I send it to the winner bitter? i think its to big for ups?

I'd recommend hiring a freight shipper to box it up and move it, and pass the costs to the buyer.

I'd also suggest trying to sell it locally to avoid this headache.

Remember- almost anyone who needs an electric chair can get one for free or almost nothing. Most people are shocked to learn that the chair that cost $10,000+ often will go for only a few hundred bucks.

The traffic code governing this is 551.201. We have a debate between another officer and myself whether you can write a DWI on someone in a electric wheelchair. I say he is considered a pedestrian (I am a rookie officer but freshly studied traffic code) he is a vetern officer who is very experienced. We are looking for the textbook answer, not what we can do in the courtroom. We welcome your opinions.

No, not for purposes of DWI. Keep in mind that DWI is covered by the Texas Penal Code. The Texas Transportation Code is not relevant for DWI.

Driving while intoxicated is covered under Section 49.04 of the Texas Penal Code, which refers to a "motor vehicle". Section 49.01 refers us to Section 32.34(a) for the definition of a "motor vehicle".

Section 32.34(a) of the Texas Penal Code defines "motor vehicle" as "a device in, on, or by which a person or property is or may be transported or drawn on a highway, except a device used exclusively on stationary rails or tracks."

Obviously, an electric wheelchair cannot transport a person on a highway, so it's not a motor vehicle according to the Texas Penal Code.

the extended speaker is electric and i have to wire it in my wheelchair batteries, in other words I want to hear my surrounding without the headphones in my ears all the time

Most power wheelchairs work on 2 12vdc deep-cycle batteries, and often have a 'tap' so you can hook up accessories.

The thing to remember is that cars recharge the batteries in use, You will be draining the batteries when you listen- so you will be sacrificing range of mobility for music when you could do the music part with a few rechargeable D's or something.

If you have a headrest, you can rig a pair of small powered speakers (like computer speakers) on the headrest to help create a 'bubble' of sound for your pleasure, all powered off a few cheap batteries. A rig like this would cost a lot less as well.
