How to Drive

One of the first things that I wondered when taking on this task was: how do paraplegic people drive? I found a wonderful resource in a website called disabled-world.com which has a huge library of videos as well as a community for people with disabilities to start discussions. One of the videos I found is embedded below and shows a young man getting into a car and explaining how his personal system for driving works. This video, however, leads me to more questions. What does Colin mean when he says he is a T4 Paraplegic? Also, since Colin's system is very specific to him: How do other types of adaptive driving work?
