Tara demonstrates driving with the Veigel Classic II in Adaptive Mobility's Subaru.
Here's a short video showcasing Tara as she drives with the Veigel Classic II from Mobility Innovations.
Tara's condition is impacting the use of her legs and the grip in her fingers. Here she readily uses her right hand on the hand control and her left hand to steer with the soft touch steering device.
The Veigel Classic II offers a lot of features:
- The slim control offers more legroom and improved adjustability of the driver’s seat.
- The simplified foldability by means of a lock lever, makes changing from drivers with disabilities to non-disabled drivers much easier and quicker.
- The ergonomic handle and the adjustability of the handle angle enable the different drivers to accelerate ea...

    can you do brake and add a little throttle at the same time?

    • @thedrivingot
      @thedrivingot 5 месяцев назад

      Hi @RollingRob with the push twist, it is possible to apply both brake and throttle. Part of the training we provide is to prevent this. Interestingly enough, in the Tesla, and I am finding in other cars, when you apply the gas and brake simultaneously the brake is overriding the gas and in some vehicles it cause the engine to cut out.

    • @thedrivingot
      @thedrivingot 9 месяцев назад

      This is an excellent question! This video highlights some 'low tech' options. All of these options still allow other drivers to use the vehicle in its original form :-) In fact, there are methods for turning off or disengaging the equipment if the vehicle is being driven by someone like a valet or mechanic. Only individuals trained (and in many states licensed) to drive with the equipment should do so. Great question ! @uvaldoordonez8353

  • @chrissawyer49
    @chrissawyer49 Год назад

    Just an FYI. If you have been driving with portable hand controls and know what you want for permanent hand controls, you can skip this OT training, by getting the endorsement/restriction on your license through the DMV. You can take the driving test at the DMV with your portable hand controls. Once you have the endorsement/restriction for hand controls on your license, you can go straight to the installer. If you have no idea what you need, or have no experience with hand controls then go through an OT for training.

    • @thedrivingot
      @thedrivingot 9 месяцев назад

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts! For others who may be reviewing this, for safety reasons, we do not endorse the use of portable hand controls. There is a higher risk for malfunction and errors when the equipment is not properly installed by a trained professional - QAP certified. The National Mobility Equipment Dealership Association has a wonderful Q&A page that addresses this and other concerns. NMEDA is the certifying body for the nationally recognized Quality Assurance Program (QAP), the only accreditation for auto mobility businesses in North America.

    • @thedrivingot
      @thedrivingot 9 месяцев назад

      One other thought, many states DO NOT allow for you to have adaptive equipment installed in your own vehicle until you have obtained the appropriate permission on your license. Please always be mindful of your state's laws and licensing procedures.

    Create an accelerator fuel ring similar to Kempf. Their big problem is they only install in Florida. You must truck vehicle there and back. $10k. Though both hands are allowed to be on the wheel the entire time except when braking. But I just bought a new Tesla Model Y Performance which does all the braking automatically. It's amazing. My hands are on the wheel 90% time.
