This video shows that a vehicle equipped with a wheelchair lift needs two car spaces to allow the person to exit the vehicle. People in wheelchairs need to get out more and interact with the larger community so other people become more aware of the needs of the mobility-impaired.Charlie Ekizian has had an amazing life. In 1968 he broke his neck in a diving accident and was told he'd be in a nursing home for the rest of his life. He used athletics to regain much of his abilities. He married, finished college, had a successful career and has spent the last forty years inspiring other mobility-impaired people to reach higher goals.
