Many people with a disability or special needs are able to drive a car and Camber Driving School has access to a range of cars with automatic transmission and various adaptations which enables us to be able to provide specialist driving lessons.
John Hutchins, who is a Diamond Advanced Instructor, has had specialist training in using all types of adaptations and understands the correct way to use a vehicle safely.
We teach students of all ages and confidence levels and will take things at a pace that suits you so don’t worry if you are a nervous driver.
Examples of how cars can be modified are:
The push pull hand controls are available as either left or right handed adaptation, this is useful for people who find using the standard pedals for braking and acceleration difficult. Pull back to accelerate and push forward to brake.
This transfers the acceleration from the foot pedal to the wheel, useful for those drivers with complete lack of functionality of both lower limbs. The ring can be under or in front of the original wheel.
A popular and simple adaptation fitted to the steering wheel, enables you to drive one handed and still maintain full control of the car. It is an effective alternative to having to hold and release while turning it.
An alternative addition which can be added to your car, for people who are unable to use their right leg to accelerate. These can be tucked away when not in use, meaning your car can be operated by disabled and able-bodied drivers.
