New Federal Regulation proposed to make rental cars easier to obtain for people who use hand controls
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a new rule that will expand access to rental cars for people with disabilities.
In recent years, vehicle manufacturers have outfitted some vehicle models, including many popular sedans, with knee bolster airbags. For drivers who use hand controls, knee bolster airbags are problematic because, when deployed, they are likely to cause the hand controls to strike the driver.
