AB  - The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how implementing a guideline for
vehicle modification would help to produce safer driving, particularly for a person with disabilities. A total of
29 participants consisting of 8 licensing officers, 12 automotive engineering officers, 11 NGO representatives
from Persatuan Orang-orang Cacat Anggota Malaysia (POCAM), Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Orang Kerdil
Malaysia (PKOKM) and 6 disabled vehicle manufacturers were gathered and interviewed for this study. This
study emphasises the important aspects to ensure that a modified vehicle is safe and suitable for driving
purposes. The interview also looks at the respondent’s views of how they act and what they find when they
assess or conduct modifications to a vehicle, particularly for the use of the disabled community. The results
of this interview were analysed using the Nvivo software. The results of this study show that there is no special
provision on the aspect of safety, installation, assembly to assure whether a modified vehicle for the disabled
person is safe to be driven on road. Almost all of these aspects depend on the suitability and comfort of the
consumer as a result of differing disability conditions. This situation has led to difficulties in having appropriate
modification to assist a person with disabilities ability to drive.
