Catherine Pitts is photographed at her home in Winston-Salem, N.C. on March 6, 2014. Whenever Pitts was ready to drive someplace, mobility typically became complicated after she put her scooter on a ramp on the back of her car. She dreaded falling. She started using a bungee cord that was attached to her car door striker, but it didn't work well. Then she got the idea to use grab bars. Her hope is that auto manufacturers will one day give people an option of having grab bars put on new passenger cars. (AP Photo/The Winston-Salem Journal, Bruce Chapman)
