Drive With Ease With PB Conversions

Enjoy the Freedom of Driving With Ease

Driving is something that many people take for granted when they wake up in the morning and simply get in their car to go off to work or to visit friends and family. But when you have a disability, driving can be painful, tiring and sometimes just completely impossible. However, this no longer has to be the case and with some small adjustments to suit you and your needs, driving could become a part of everyday life.

What Can be Done?

There are a huge number of adaptations that can be made to a car that can aid with driving and make life not only a lot easier, but also a lot more comfortable. Hand controls are one of the most common forms of adaptations due to their many benefits. If you rely on your arms for your movement then this would be ideal for you. The controls are easy to use and are fitted neatly so they simply feel as though they were part of the original car. With extra protection for your legs, you will enjoy ultimate comfort and feel secure as you are driving. The pedals can still be used as standard if anyone else has access to the car.

If your disability makes it difficult for you to use the accelerator due to its positioning, having a left foot accelerator may help. By installing another accelerator pedal, this gives you a little more flexibility and allows you to drive with ease. This is applicable within automatic cars and the original right pedal will be left and will still be usable.

Wheelchair hoists are another popular choice for car adaptations. There are a number of options to choice from with this alteration but essentially they will all lift a wheelchair or a scooter into the back of your vehicle. These are ideal if you often take trips away or simply like to get out and about a lot and find this much easier with the aid of a scooter or wheelchair.

There are a variety of other adaptations available including steering aids, Space Drive and radio remotes. Depending on how your disability affects you, there is an option which may be able to suit your specific requirements and give you the freedom to enjoy driving.

How Will it Make a Difference?

Being able to drive with ease could make a huge difference to not only your life, but your friends and family’s lives. It is a great feeling to get out there on your own and have more independence without having to rely on others for help. This could improve your quality of life and your general happiness so there really are no downfalls. You will be able to visit friends and family when and as you wish and there will be no more waiting around for lifts or taxis.
