This example simplifies the use of getVehicleHandling 

_getVehicleHandling = getVehicleHandling() -- replace the original getVehicleHandling function as _getVehicleHandling
function getVehicleHandling(ele, prop)
        if ele and prop then -- there is an element and property
           if getElementType(ele) == "vehicle" then -- if the type of the element is a vehicle
	      local handlingTable = _getVehicleHandling(ele) -- get the handling as table and save as handlingTable
              local value = handlingTable.prop -- make the value wanted
              return value -- return the value wanted!
           end
        end
end
