We have recently had great difficulty booking taxis for students who use
electric wheelchairs. Taxi companies with black cabs, who previously
accespted passangers in electric wheelchairs are saying that they are not
insured to transport the battery. Only specialist companies and private
ambulance operators are prepared to provide transport.
Is this just a local problem, or is it widespread?
