How Do People With Disabilities Drive Their Vehicles?

People With Disabilities Drive Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles with Driving Controls!

Driving controls are devices that allow people with disabilities to drive their wheelchair accessible vehicles.

Hand controls allow the driver to operate both the brake and gas pedals.

These controls use levers mounted below the steering wheel and attached to the pedals.

Spinner knobs allow safe steering of the vehicle by drivers who steer with only one hand, or who cannot grip the steering wheel at all.

These controls are customized to each individual driver and are adapted for each person’s specific capabilities.

What an amazing help these modifications bring to give independence to people with disabilities and allow them to drive their own vehicles!
