Final answer:

The statement is False. According to the ADA, a person with a disability is considered to have limitations in major life activities. Driving is one of those major life activities, so if Manuel is unable to drive due to his disability, it is considered a limitation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False.

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a disabled person is defined as someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Driving is considered a major life activity, so if Manuel is unable to drive due to his disability, it would be considered a limitation.

Rather than driving, other major life activities can include things like seeing, hearing, walking, speaking, and learning. These activities are protected by the ADA and accommodations are required to ensure equal access for individuals with disabilities.
