Driving Controls
All adaptations in our driving controls range are available on the Motability Scheme and can be tailored following a professional assessment.
Driving Controls Overview
Main controls: Explore hand controls, electronic accelerators and pedal adaptations.
Steering and switches: The range also includes steering aids and remote control devices.
Combined options: Some drivers use more than one adaptation together, such as hand controls with a steering aid.
Discuss your setup: Ask the team about an assessment of your needs and vehicle before choosing controls.
Hand Controls
If you are unable to operate the foot pedals, hand controls allow you to brake and accelerate using your hands.
Electronic Accelerators
If you are unable to operate the foot pedals or find hand controls take too much effort, an electronic accelerator allows you to accelerate using your hands with minimal effort.
High-Tech Controls
Pedal Adaptations
Devices for aiding the operation of a vehicle’s pedals and protection from inadvertent use.
Remote Control Devices
Remote control devices help make it easier to operate some of your standard car controls, such as the indicators, windscreen wipers and headlights, using a single control panel mounted on the steering wheel.
Steering Aids
Designed to aid one handed steering. If you have hand controls fitted, a steering ball is often essential, as it enables you to steer the car with one hand, while operating hand controls with the other.
Finding the Right Driving Controls
From hand controls and electronic accelerators to high-tech controls, pedal adaptations, remote control devices and steering aids, our driving controls cover a wide range of needs, and many drivers use more than one together, such as hand controls with a steering aid. The right set-up depends on your mobility, your vehicle and how you drive, which is why we recommend starting with a professional assessment.
