The number of wheelchair users who drive cars varies by region and depends on accessibility, vehicle modifications, and personal circumstances. In the U.S., it's estimated that around 1.6 million people use wheelchairs, with a portion of them able to drive adapted vehicles. Organizations and programs exist to assist individuals in gaining the necessary skills and equipment to drive safely. Overall, while the exact number is difficult to pinpoint, there is a significant community of wheelchair users who successfully drive.

Can people who are confined to a wheelchair get a DUI if they drink alcohol?
They can if they drive. Many wheelchair-bound people have special vehicles that allow them to drive. In the case of the wheelchair, probably not, UNLESS it is motorized. Some states might then define it as a motor vehicle. In any case, it's no safer to drive a wheelchair drunk than a car.

What caused Franklin Delano Roosevelt to become paralyzed?
He never was overt about it and rather hid it from the general population. He was so concerned about people knowing he wouldn't allow photos with him in his wheelchair and had a car, train, combination where he could drive a car out of a special car without leaving the car. He also arranged for a special car elevator to fit this car from his train on a visit to NYC. He stood when he gave speeches with the help of braces, but toward the end of the war he was seen more often in his wheelchair so by that time it was obvious.
