While we figure that giant, tread-wielding wheelchairs have no trouble
selling themselves, a disabled man named Jim Starr is helping them
along their merry way -- a story about his TankChair being rejected
for street use by UK authorities is giving the company plenty of free
advertising. That's not to say that we don't feel for the disabled
father of two, and hope he gets to use his snow-crushing, beach-
mashing wheelchair in peace -- it's just not particularly surprising
that a non-standard vehicle would be illegal to use on public
roadways, and as you'll see in the video after the break (at roughly
5:30) the law doesn't seem to be restraining him any.
