Click here hours & location details.A disabled man's incredible tank-style wheelchair that lets him go on off-road adventures has been sidelined by officials because it is too big to use in public.Jim Starr, 36, was hoping to use the hulking chair, which has caterpillar treads instead of wheels, to enjoy days out at the beach and the countryside with his children.The Tank Chair is designed to move easily across multi-terrain and Jim, 36, has already driven it through snow, across sand and into the surf of his local beach. Incredible hulk: Disabled Jim Starr, 36, has been been stopped in his tracks after the DVLA ruled that his Tank Chair cannot be categorised as an invalid buggy as it too wide and heavy for use on public land But his hopes have been stopped in their tracks by the DVLA who say the Tank Chair cannot be categorised as an invalid buggy as it is 22cm(8.6in) too wide and more than 100kg(15.7st) too heavy for use on public land.
They have told Jim that he must apply for a category H driving licence which allows people to drive track-laying vehicles such as tanks, on public roads. Jim, a former landscape gardener, has used a wheelchair since 1999 due to chronic back and joint conditions, neurological problems and arthritis which leave him in constant pain.He was given the £15,000 chair for Christmas by a kindly friend after finding himself limited by his basic wheelchair, which could only travel on smooth surfaces.The Tank Chair allows Jim, from Dorchester, Dorset, to travel across uneven ground and can even go up hills and dips in the road without being jolted. Cruise control: The Tank Chair allows Jim, from Dorchester, Dorset, to travel across uneven ground and can even go up hills and dips in the road without being jolted The motorised vehicle is controlled by a sensitive joystick on the arm of the chair.The driver is strapped in and the tracks give the disabled user the ability to travel where other wheelchairs can't go.
It has a top speed of 8mph and runs on a 24 volt motor powered by a battery that is simply charged from a socket.Jim hoped the chair would allow him more freedom to go outdoors with his wife Emma, son Leo, eight, and daughter Skye, four.But although initial checks with the DVLA and police suggested he would be able to use the machine legally, it has emerged it is only permitted on private land.Jim said: 'The whole idea of the chair was that I could go down to the beach with the kids.'It is a fantastic machine and can take me anywhere I want to go. It has no limits.'It is ridiculous that I should have found a chair that could help me do all that, then told I could use it, only for the authorities to turn around and say that if I used it on the roads I would be doing something illegal. New lease of life: Former landscape gardener Jim was given the £15,000 chair for Christmas by a kindly friend after finding himself limited by his basic wheelchair, which could only travel on smooth surfaces
'NHS wheelchairs are fine but when they get to anything other than a flat, even surface they are useless.'Even a small amount of grit is enough to make moving the wheels around difficult, they sink in sand and even a slightly uneven surface means you are thrown around, which severely hurts my back.'I used to be someone who was very into outdoor pursuits before I had to use a wheelchair and I had hoped the tracks would mean I could get back out and do the kinds of think I used to love doing.'I wanted to take my kids down to the seaside and join them in the water.'I wanted to take them out for trips to the woods, but I cannot do that with my current wheelchair.'I have had it checked by the police and their real problem is with the treads being exposed, but I'm quite happy to cover them.'What I really need is for the DVLA to give me an exemption. Before I was injured I loved doing survival courses and going into the woods. Stopped in his tracks: According to the DVLA, track laying vehicles fall within category H, which can only be obtained by passing an appropriate test
'I don't want to use this on roads or pavements, but I have to cross roads and pavements to get to the areas where I can use it.'After I got it I tried it out and then took it to the police to check it was legal - and that's when I found out that I couldn't use it.'In the future I would like to run charity events so other disabled people can try out the chair.'In the meantime it would be nice to have an area on private land where I can go and use the chair.' According to the DVLA, invalid buggies and scooters can be no more than 85cm wide and 125kg in weight. Jim's Tank Chair is 107cm wide and weighs 220kilos.The DVLA told Jim in an email: 'The Tank Chair is outside the scope of a Class 3 Invalid Carriage due to its weight and the width. Family outings: Jim was hoping to use the hulking chair, which has caterpillar treads instead of wheels, to enjoy days out at the beach and the countryside with his children 'The vehicle is designed for off-road use and therefore would not need to be registered.'However, if you wish to use the vehicle on public roads then it is a motor vehicle, and will require registration and you will have to have the appropriate driving licence category.'Track laying vehicles fall within category H, which can only be obtained by passing an appropriate test.'
