Vehicle Adaptations

​

Here at Freedom Driver Training we have a selection of vehicles with different adaptations, 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.

​

Pedal Extensions 

​

These are simply pedals that extend to aid

people of short stature to reach the foot pedals,

they can be fitted to any vehicle (Manual

or automatic) and are often used in conjunction

with additional seating modifications.
