RADAR, the UK’s leading disability rights campaigning organisation, has produced its first ever guide to    motoring for disabled people. The guide, ‘Get Motoring: Finding and Financing Your Car – A Practical Guide for the Disabled Motorist’, has been developed with the support of Motability Operations, the company which operates the car scheme for disabled people, and other disability professionals.

‘Get Motoring’ sets out to guide disabled motorists through the bewildering range of options available for obtaining a car, whether new or used, and addresses the costs and decisions faced when choosing a car to ensure that readers are able to make an informed choice.

Slawsome is a completely free email service with a twist, Slawsome isn’t just another free email service it’s a completely free voicemail service. Once you have created an account you can create two types of voicemail, the first is your normal type of mail which can be sent to anyone with a standard email, the second is a public mail, this can be listened to by anyone and slawsome even provide you with an RSS feed of your public voice mail which you can use for your own blogs or anything else you fancy.

Slawsome is at present in Alpha testing phase, this means its quite rough around the edges, but having said that it works and it works well. Find it at http://www.slawesome.com
