Drive Safely, Comfortably, and Independently
For many individuals, driving represents freedom, independence, and the ability to live life on their own terms.
When mobility challenges make traditional vehicle controls difficult or impossible to operate, adaptive driving equipment can restore the ability to drive safely and confidently.
At Custom Mobility, we provide professional installation of driving aids and adaptive vehicle controls designed to help individuals with physical limitations maintain independence behind the wheel.
Because mobility should include the freedom to drive.

What Are Driving Aids?
Driving aids—also known as adaptive driving equipment—are specialized devices that modify or supplement traditional vehicle controls to accommodate drivers with physical disabilities or mobility limitations.
These systems allow drivers to safely operate essential vehicle functions such as acceleration, braking, steering, and secondary controls even if they cannot use standard pedals or controls.
Adaptive driving equipment can be customized based on the specific needs of the driver and the type of vehicle being used.
Types of Adaptive Driving Equipment
-
Hand Controls
Hand controls allow drivers to operate the accelerator and brake using hand-operated mechanisms rather than foot pedals.
These systems are ideal for individuals who have limited or no use of their legs.
Hand control configurations include:
- Push / Pull controls
- Push / Rock controls
- Push / Twist controls
- Electronic hand control systems
These systems provide smooth and responsive control of acceleration and braking.
- Push / Pull controls
-
Steering Devices
Steering aids make it easier to control the steering wheel for drivers with limited hand strength or dexterity.
Common steering aids include:
- Spinner knobs
- Tri-pins
- Palm grips
- Steering balls
These devices allow drivers to maintain better steering control with one hand.
- Spinner knobs
-
Secondary Control Systems
Secondary control systems allow drivers to operate additional vehicle functions without removing their hands from the steering wheel.
These controls may operate:
- Turn signals
- Horn
- Windshield wipers
- Headlights
- Other vehicle accessories
Electronic secondary control systems allow drivers to manage multiple vehicle functions safely.
- Turn signals
-
Left-Foot Accelerators
Left-foot accelerators allow drivers who cannot use their right foot to operate the accelerator pedal safely.
These systems relocate the accelerator pedal to the left side of the brake pedal while disabling the original accelerator when the system is engaged.
-
Pedal Extensions
Pedal extensions bring the brake and accelerator pedals closer to the driver.
These systems are often used by drivers who have difficulty reaching the pedals due to limited mobility or shorter stature.
