BMW helps injured US soldiers back on wheels

Can we drive with no legs? Incredibly, yes. As BMW had put on a two day driving school for US military soldiers who were handicapped from injuries they sustain from 'defending their nation' a few thousand miles away from USA soil. With a couple of 650i fitted with a special lever that could be operated using the left or right hand (prescribed by doctors in accordance to that individual's injury.

The handles could operate the vehicle by pulling for acceleration, pushing in for braking, while the other hand was on the knob for steering wheels. Great job BMW!
