Invalid carriage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An invalid carriage was a low cost, low maintenance vehicle, designed specifically for the physically disabled.
In the United Kingdom in the 1960s and 1970s, invalid carriages were provided as a subsidised, low cost vehicle to aid mobility of the disabled.
Vehicles supplied by the National Health Service had 3 wheels, were very lightweight, and therefore their suitability on roads amongst other traffic was often considered dubious on safety grounds.
In the United Kingdom today, the physically disabled can now obtain modified normal vehicles at low cost through the motability scheme
