Adaptations to help you drive
If you're new to driving adaptations you'll find lots of information about them on this page and when you talk to an adaptations installer. We also recommend you visit a Driving Mobility centre to find out which adaptations will best suit your needs.
Adaptations can be made to many driving controls, including steering wheels, accelerators and gear sticks
You can arrange an adaptations review at a Driving Mobility centre to find out which adaptations best suit your needs
Your adaptations installer will be able to tell you if the ones you need are compatible with the make and model you like
Most vehicles need to be automatic to be compatible
You can get some adaptations at no extra cost, if you get them when you start your lease
Not sure if adaptations are right for you?
We can help you decide. It'll only take a couple of minutes.
Upper body
These help you drive from the waist-up, like a hand-controlled brake.
Steering aids
These are things like a steering ball if you find it difficult to hold or turn the wheel. You can remove these for other drivers too.
You might also need a steering aid if you have other hand controls fitted.
Remote control devices
These are control panels with remote control devices, on your steering wheel. You can use them to work things like your indicators, wipers, and headlights.
This can also include a steering aid so you can steer and operate your vehicle with one hand.
Hand controls
These are useful if you find braking or accelerating difficult. You push or pull a level to control the speed of your vehicle.
There are many types of hand controls.

These might help if you have limited mobility in your legs.
There are many different types of electronic accelerators and they all come with a hand-controlled brake.
