Handybar Support Handle for Cars

It's said the Handybar will do for geriatric motorists what the Garden Weasel did for geriatric gardeners.

It fits into that U-shaped thing-a-ma-bob mounted into the door frame of your car, providing you with a support handle to help you out and on to your feet. Sounds like a good idea, but I can forsee everyone shutting the door on the handle, and screwing up the door.

I mean, it sometimes takes 5 minutes for my mother-in-law to exit a vehicle, and in that much time, she can completely forget what she did 5 minutes ago.

The company says the Handybar also has a built in seat belt cutter, and can also be used smash car windows.

Don't take offense for your mother-in-law but I wonder if someone who needs 5 minutes to go out her car should... drive.

But this handle can be used also by passengers.

I agree.It looks like just another thing to run into while trying to get into your car at night.That would be especially hard on mother-in-laws.

OMG, I can't believe they're showing it on the driver's side. If you struggle that hard to get out, DON'T DRIVE. I don't need you on the road falling asleep and killing my kids. or mistaking the gas pedal for the brake pedal.

Oh great, one more thing I have to look out for when buying a vehicle. Torqued door strikes.
