Vehicle Adaptations

Here at Freedom Driver Training we have a selection of vehicles with these adaptations and more if required, Including some that can be fitted to vehicles with manual transmission. We work with a number of local suppliers and can give you advice on which adaptations would best suit your needs and how to go about getting your own vehicle adapted.

Pull Push hand controls

Suitable for some people with a both leg disability - these hand controls effectively replace the need to operate foot pedals. We have a vehicle fitted with a right hand operated single combined push-pull lever (with integrated indicator switch). This, used in combination with a steering ball and Secondary control unit, will give you full control of the car.

Over ring Accelerator

This is an alternative to the pull push accelerator and keeps both hands on the steering wheel, therefore steering is done in the conventional way.

This solution is often better for people with reduce leg function that may have a weakness or discomfort in the back or neck area.

Left Foot Accelerator

This pedal can be flipped up or down as and when required, it allows people with reduced function of their right leg / foot (or for those where this limb has been amputated), to drive using the left foot.

This adaptation does not suit everyone and often takes the longest to adjust to, but with the right support and training anything is possible.

Wireless secondary control unit

This is an electronic device that is fitted onto the steering wheel and enables the user to both steer and operate the secondary controls (lights windscreen wipers etc.) safely with the use of only one hand.
