In this wonderful era of technology, there is a plethora of information at our fingertips, anytime we want or need it.
Simply type in any keyword phrase into Google or Yahoo and information overload hits us like a slap in the face.
Let's take for example the term wheelchair van.
After typing that into Google, there are 592,000 results that appear.
Now take the phrase handicap van, which yields 706,000 results on Google.
How does one decipher what is valid and legitimate information, especially when we all have the attention span of a 5 year old and can only get through 2-3 pages of results.
VMI has launched a new campaign this week to assist buyers of wheelchair accessible vans get one step closer to finding answers to very important questions, many of which are foreign to many first time buyers and even second and third time buyers.
