Modifying Cars Research Paper

Is possible to increase the speed or power of a car? Or designed it specifically for someone’s particular needs? Modifying vehicles can be beneficial because it can express personality, increase the speed in a vehicle, and even help people who have disabilities to drive. Before modifying cars, people should educate themselves first by figuring out what car is made for them, and the best way to modify it if they would like to experience these benefits.

Everything can be modified for people needs. “Gradually over time,” builders started to help create vehicles to let people drive (Freguson). So, people would “start bring their custom cars to professionals” (Freguson). They would add “Assessments… because they are extremely important for personal safety”. Everyone is required to have at least five different modifications for your personal needs (Bennett). To meet these requirements though you have to take a driver’s test. To obtain “a drivers license you must pass the written and driving test” (“Handicap Driving”). You have taken a driving test, which is basically following the rules or the road and a writing test, which is much harder than the driver’s test. To pass the rules of the road, there is no special requirements except a “special license plate and a placard to hang on your mirror” (“Handicap Driving”). The writing test usually consists of two parts; “a multiple choice question… [and] hazard perception skills section” (Handicap Driving). Now if someone needs special modifications, they need to “order an issued drivers license” that shows they have “authority that you know the safety requirements” (Handicap Driving). Examples for modifications could be “a special steering wheel, throttle, braking, and signaling” (Handicap Driving). If you need special hand controls for steering wheels “technology has revolutionized people in wheel chairs” (Langtree) who are getting ready or already driving. Also, something that someone “might want to use steering knobs, steering cuffs, and tri-pins”
