This has been a particular problem for the handicapped community as I understand it, as the service speed for handicapped vehicles has been much worse.

Not just that, but when I was on crutches my rating dramatically dropped. I almost always had a friend with me to help out with storing the crutches and getting in and out of the car, but regardless my rating fell at least a tenth. Drivers probably didn’t like how I needed to grab onto their car to enter and exit, or maybe that the crutches were in their car, or that the whole process took a bit longer.

I do think drivers should be required to justify a <5 star rating for riders.

Isn’t that to be expected given the need for a special vehicle?

Don't taxis have the same problem?
