FOR CARRIAGE
ON PUBLIC
TRANSPORT
In accordance with Direktive 2001/85/EG, An-
nex VII, item 3.8.3, the vehicle includes spe-
cially marked wheelchair locations, permitting
transport with the wheelchair facing the forward
direction of movement.
If this method of transport is utilised, the user or
carer must play an active part in the travel, be
prepared for rapid movements, and the ability
to maintain a secure seated position throughout
the entire period of transport.
The restrictions on movement of the user must
not be so great as to prevent him/her from hol-
ding on to the handholds installed in the vehicle
during changes in speed and direction of the
vehicle.
Apart from the above, one should be able, in
order to improve safety, to check that:
- The backrest is at the same level as, or above,
the user’s shoulders
- That neck support is used and is correctly
fitted.
- That the parking brake is applied
- That the tipping protection is lowered
