This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.
There are many persons who suffer from various forms of disabilities. To say the least, their disabilities make life harder for them and restrict their abilities to find employment, move from one place to another, and basically makes them feel dejected and depressed at times. Despite all these negatives, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel for such persons. Life can become easier for them, allowing them to go about their daily lives without having to totally depend on caregivers. There are various mobility devices that persons who suffer from disabilities can use to get round and about without any hassle. Some of these devices include mobility vans (wheelchair vans) and access mobility equipment that assist disabled persons in accessing their vehicles. There are a number of companies that provide such devices and services, but it is best to purchase mobility products from NMEDA qualified dealers.
For those consumers who are unaware of who NMEDA is, it is the acronym for the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association which is a non-profit trade association that requires its members to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NMEDA does not sell anything but their mission is to educate consumers on buying products from NMEDA qualified dealers. They are the only association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. Their dealers, who are in fact their members, are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people. Since no two people with a disability are exactly the same, the dealers are able to customize wheelchair vans to fit the disability of each individual. After a personalized “in-person” evaluation, you can be sure you are getting the right driving solution customized to your specific lifestyle and needs. If you need additional training or product refinements, your NMEDA dealer is there to help you. At the same time, beware of adapted wheelchair vehicles sold over the Internet or through catalogs. Only buy these items from NMEDA qualified dealers.
NMEDA also has Quality Assurance Program (QAP) dealers. The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. The QAP is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality. That is exactly what you get from NMEDA QAP dealers. It can be really hard at times for disabled persons to find quality equipment that are safe and sound to help them get about. It can also be hard for their caregivers who may become stressed out over time. The quality solutions offered by NMEDA qualified dealers can assist caregivers in making their jobs easier while keeping the elderly or disabled persons comfortable, getting them back onto the road of independence.
To see if there is a NMEDA qualified dealer near you, go to the NMEDA website and type your ZIP code in the box under “Find a Dealer Nearest You” and click the Go button. Once you locate one, contact them so that they can help you get mobile once again with solutions that are customized to fit your disability.

Jul 8, 2010 How To, Tips and Tricks
There comes a time for just about every driver when they need to change a flat tyre. So, you stop the vehicle safely on the soft shoulder, or as near to the curb as possible in the absence of a soft shoulder, or pull off the road completely if possible onto a side road or cul-de-sac, shut it off, and then pull up your hand brake. You then get out of the vehicle, look at the flat tyre and make an annoyed “hmmmphhh!” You have to change the tyre, so what do you do? Well, first of all, make sure that you scotch the wheels before you do anything else. So, look around for some stones or pieces of wood that are big enough to put under the tyres, back and front, that have not blown out. If you are unable to find anything to scotch the vehicle, turn the front wheels toward the curb and lock your steering (in the event that a back tyre has blown), or angle the rear of the vehicle to the curb (in the case of a blown front tyre) to prevent the vehicle from possibly slipping while on the jack.
Good. So now that you have secured the vehicle from running back or forward, open your trunk and retrieve your jack, jack handle, lug tool, and spare tyre. Before jacking up the vehicle, loosen the lug nuts on the defective tyre with your lug tool, just pulling them enough to start turning. Then set the jack under the vehicle placing the jack head preferably on the running board of the chassis, near the tyre. Start jacking the vehicle up, always observing the other tyres in case some slippage takes place. Once the tyre is completely off the ground, remove the lug nuts totally, take off the bad tyre, and then push on the spare tyre. Put the lug nuts back on and lightly tighten them with the lug tool. Start jacking down the vehicle until the tyre is firmly on the ground and you are able to pull the jack from under the vehicle. Then finish tightening the lug nuts until they can turn no more.
Place the blown tyre, lug tool, jack, and jack handle into your trunk. Remove any stones or other objects you used to scotch the vehicle. Then jump in your vehicle and drive away to the nearest tyre shop to get your damaged tyre repaired. You see how easy that was, and it only took about 5 minutes, and you did it safely.
