Driving for Perfection
Oh yes YOU can!
BLIND car racer Mike Newman is allowing disabled people to prove the doubters wrong and enjoy the thrill of driving.
With co-founder John Galloway, Mike runs the Speed of Sight charity, which for 10 years has been enabling disabled people of all ages to get behind the wheel at venues nationwide.
Mike, the fastest blind person on the planet, said: “It really is such a fun thing to do, especially when you’re told you can’t do something as ordinary as driving!”
Now the theory test revision materials provider, Driving Test Success, has nominated Speed of Sight as its new charity partner.
Mia Branston, from Driving Test Success, said: “We’ve known of the Speed Of Sight charity for a few years and are thrilled we are able to assist with the incredible work they do. ”

This vintage trike’s truly a pioneer
THERE’S nothing Richard Holland-Oakes loves better than seeing and restoring old vehicles.
So when he saw a 70-year-oldArgson Electric power trike featured on TV’s Bangers & Cash series, he just knew he had to have it.
“When you have a combined passion for engineering and mobility, the opportunity to acquire a historic disability vehicle cannot be missed, ” said Richard, who runs this family healthcare business, Recare.
Richard’s brother,Andrew, added: “It was truly a memorable day for Richard and I when we travelled to Pickering to meet Derek Mathewsons, auctioneer owner and star of Bangers & Cash.
“Our new pride and joy will be appearing very soon – it will definitely be a head turner. ”
TheArgson Electric was produced by the Stanley Engineering Company – a market-leading maker of hand, motor and electric transport for users with disabilities.
Between 1924 and 1954 theArgson Electric was a pioneering vehicle with around 1,500-2,000 manufactured on a specialist production line in Surrey.
The model now owned by the Recare family was the 799th produced and is one of only around 30 remaining worldwide.
