You gave such a clear and wonderful demonstration and explanation. Great closeups of the accelerator and braking setups. This is very valuable! I like that the accelerator ring and the braking post are well separated so there is no confusion or grabbing the wrong control when a sudden unexpected event happens on the road. You gave a delightful presentation, and I am encouraged to find something like this for my wheelchair van.
Wow yes I'm really thinking about getting hand control very soon I got neuropathy of the feet so bad and my husband is getting where he can't drive me around anymore so I gotta try to help myself I have no help so gotta move on
Not having to rely on anyone is such a good feeling! Just make sure you are allowed to drive with hand controls 😉 in most European countries, for example, you have to get a special driving license. All the best to you! 🤗
Thanks for sharing this. I did know about it, as I had a friend in high school (decades ago, for me) who was paralyzed below the waist, and she had a truck with hand controls. As you talk about, though, hers were different. If my memory is serving me well, I believe her braking was the same as yours, basically, but then that same lever could be pushed down (instead of away) to operate the accelerator (and, that was before software control, so it was physically connected to the accelerator pedal). She also had a knob on the wheel.
That might be 😊 there are many different hand controls for cars to best fit a persons disability. I am just happy that we get the option to drive around as life would be so much harder without this option
Great video! I have neuropathy and have lost the feeling in my feet so I am getting hand controls soon. I really like how yours are set up with the accelerator on the steering wheel.
I am sorry to hear that you have lost the feeling in your feet but I am happy that there is a solution to driving 😊 I also like it a lot and I think it is very comfortable, but I also never tried anything else 😁
Thanks! 😊 I don’t think so. You probably have to find a mechanic who is able to modify your car like this. Unfortunately, I am not sure how you can get it in Kuwait.
Why dont you have to continually press the acceleration? Is it like when youre driving slow with foot pedals and you arent pressing the gas pedal? Or does it stay at whatever speed you put it at, like cruise control?
I only press the acceleration when I want to accelerate. If I am for example on the highway, I do continually press it. When I press the accelerator, there is a button that allows me to continue driving at that speed without constantly pressing the accelerator, but I rarely use it. I prefer to be in control 😉
Hi from Croatia! I have the same GuidoSimplex controls in my Peugeot 407 SW. Both car and controls are 18 years old. I am buying new Peugeot 308 SW and I want to install the same controls. New one ofcourse. I was just worried about buttons on the steering wheel of new Peugeot. From your video I can say it will be fine because you also have buttons. What model of Peugeot is this?
Thank you, MegaMarlboro666, for naming the brand name of the controls. I was wondering what they were. I will look up the brand and see if they are available to me in the USA.

@@smilisa. Oh I will have to get a special driver license I'm in South Carolina
@hennessywalker827 I am not familiar with the laws in the US, but you should probably check just to be on the safe side 😉
@@smilisa. Ok I will thank you so very much have a great day 🥰🌹
@hennessywalker827 thank you so much 🥰 you too!

@@smilisa. I’m glad you have that option, as well. And also any place where there are good accommodations on public transit, too. Yay, options!
@DavidLindes I sure agree on that 😄

Great video. Can I order this device from the factory because I am from Kuwait?🇰🇼

Hello everyone where can I find this device at
Hi 😊 you should probably ask in a car workshop that is specialized and qualified in car fittings

Hey 😊 this is the smallest model, the 108. I do have buttons on both sides of the steering wheel and they are very easily accessible 🤗
