Persons with disabilities as participants in the traffic

Abstract

Being different is very expensive today. When the problems of people with disabilities are viewed from a broader perspective, fulfilling their needs remains a challenge. People with disabilities meet daily with various types of rejection and difficulties with whom they have to fight on their own. In Serbia, on average, about 200 persons with disabilities take a driving test every year. It is necessary to provide adequate conditions for persons with disabilities to become or continue to be equal traffic participants, to take driving tests at affordable prices and to have the benefit of modifying and purchasing new vehicles on the reputation of some foreign countries. In addition, it is necessary for participants in traffic, who are not persons with disabilities, to approach problems with which persons with disabilities as participants in traffic meet on a daily basis in order to raise their awareness. It is also necessary to provide adequate education programs through which drivers who are not persons with disabilities who share a car that is modified for the needs of the person with disabilities, they could use the car in the least possible way.
