I can see the headlines now:

"Dead wheelchair user's family sues Carl's Jr for not providing bright enough lights in the drive through lane" . . .

Wheelchairs are not licensed and/or permitted on the streets either . . . for good reason. It is not because of discrimination, it is because they are no contest for a large 4X4, rig, or even small car. Many don't have running lights, and they certainly could not get out of the way in a hurry.

Dusk and dawn could be treacherous.

All the restaurants (here) have electric doors for wheelchair customers. I think it would just be safer to go to the inside order counter, like everyone else who is not in a licenced road vehicle.

Cherie

She wasn't in a wheelchair.

I believe this link shows what she was on. Bentnub, please correct me if I'm wrong....
