Veiki Laan, in his commentary, urges policymakers and officials in Estonia to adopt a more reasonable approach to legislation, particularly emphasizing the viewpoint of people with disabilities. He argues that much of Estonian policy is still shaped from the perspective of able-bodied individuals, which often overlooks the necessary adaptations required for those with disabilities. A contemporary example highlighted is the vehicle tax legislation, where advocates for people with disabilities had to strongly protest to safeguard their rights regarding tax relief.

A significant moment in the legislative process occurred when Estonia’s president intervened by refusing to sign the initial version of the vehicle tax law due to its unequal treatment of individuals with disabilities. This illustrates a crucial turning point where the highest office in the land defended the rights of a marginalized group, leading to an extraordinary session of the Riigikogu (Estonian parliament) to amend the provisions and ensure fair tax relief for individuals with severe mobility impairments, irrespective of their vehicle’s adaptations.

Throughout this process, the government's members exhibited a surprisingly dynamic mindset, which was crucial in addressing the issues raised by advocates. Laan’s commentary serves as both a critique of existing legal frameworks and a rallying call for inclusive practices that account for the diverse experiences of all citizens, particularly those with mobility challenges. He underscores the importance of incorporating a variety of perspectives in policy-making to ensure that legislation does not exclude or disadvantage anyone, urging for a system that reflects true equality for all. This is vital not just for compliance with the law but also for the overarching principles of justice and fairness in society.
