there's an intermediate stepwhich can be fixed into place, and that means you don't have tostep so high to get into the taxi. and most taxis have a swivel seatwhich can be pulled out, so that you can step upand take a seat more easily. there's a handle there for you. jan: you can also use the colouredgrab handles to help keep you steady. lovely. thank you. and you'll be secure using the seat belt. thank you. that's great.
