Automatic car registration and driving license - Left Leg polio
26-Nov-2023 (In Civil Law)
RTO-Bangalore says it cannot register a car with automatic transmission either as invalid carriage or LMV. My left leg is polio affected while right leg is fine. I can drive an automatic car without any hassles. But the RTO insists on some modifications to get it registered. can i challenge this in court, what can I do next.
You are advised not to challenge RTO. Because they are well within their powers prescribed the motor vehicles act. If at all if you want to challenge, you need to challenge the provision of law in High Court.

Can a disabled person drive a normal car?
If you have a problem with your lower leg, an automatic vehicle is available. A vehicle does not need to be modified. If the lower leg (right) is a problem, an automatic or manual car can be purchased. The brake and accelerator, however, must be operated by hand.

The standard vehicle is not equipped with a ramp or lift for wheelchairs or mobility devices. This leaves users with mobility devices the option of either purchasing a vehicle that has been adapted to allow mobility device accessibility via a ramp or lift, also known as a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle.
The rules & regulations regarding refusal for registration of a car with automatic transmission as invalid carriage have been challenged in different courts of law and orders favourable to the disabled persons have also been passed in certain cases.
