Product Description:
Pedal guards are a simple and effective safety adaptation that work in conjunction with primary function hand controls and are often installed at the same time. Driving using hand controls eliminates the need to operate the foot pedals in the conventional way. A simple guard prevents the pedals being accessed. Designed for drivers who have restricted mobility in their lower limbs, or are at increased risk of involuntarily moving their legs due to muscle spasms etc, pedal guards prevent the feet getting trapped or any accidental pressing of the floor pedals whilst driving using the fitted hand controls.
The adaptation sits in front of the original floor pedals and creates a comfortable place for the driver’s feet to rest against. Available as a single pedal guard which covers the brake pedal or double pedal guard which covers both the brake and the accelerator pedals. Often a guard is fitted to protect the brake pedal only and the accelerator is modified with a hinge, allowing the pedal to be folded up out of the way when driving with hand controls.
The Guards are constructed from hard wearing metal and are a robust and compact adaptation, designed for the purpose of safety whilst driving. Available for most makes and models of vehicle with automatic transmission, they are easily detachable with a quick release mechanism, allowing the vehicle to be driven in the usual way by another driver. No alteration is made to the original structure of the vehicle during installation of the pedal guards.
Benefits and Features: Lightweight and simple to use
Benefits and Features: Suitable for all automatic vehicles
Benefits and Features: Allows for conventional pedal operation for other drivers
Benefits and Features: Ergonomic design
Benefits and Features: Can be fitted either side of the steering column
Benefits and Features: Available on the Motability Scheme
Product Description:
The hand control, also known as a Push Pull Brake Accelerator, enables the driver to effectively and safely accelerate and brake by using their hands. A highly functional and popular vehicle adaptation which is suitable for all automatic transmission vehicles, including hybrid and fully electric. Pull the lever back to accelerate and push forward to brake by using a single hand.
Particularly suitable for those with reduced strength or limited mobility in their lower limbs. Moving the pedal functions to a simple to operate, user-friendly lever attached to the steering column. It provides an ideal and economical solution to those who are unable to, or find operating foot pedal controls difficult. Conveniently, once fitted, the push/pull hand control does not prevent conventional driving. The traditional floor pedals are left in place allowing others to drive the vehicle in the usual way.
Each unobtrusive hand control is tailored to each individual vehicle for maximum comfort and ease of operation. The lever can be fitted to either the left or right side of the steering column and will not affect the usual movement of the steering wheel, or cause interference with the driver’s air bag functionality, ensuring driver safety.
If required, a variety of electronic secondary controls can be incorporated as optional extras. Providing Integral indicators, horn and dip switches and more.
Driving licence codes 30 - 31 apply to this adaptation.
Driffield Mobility Ltd are authorised dealers for the following manufacturers of hand controls: Adaptacar, Autoadapt (Carospeed Menox), Cowal mobility, Jeff Gosling and Brig-Ayd.

Product Description:
Paravan’s Space Drive II is a world leading driving system for disabled drivers. It enables drivers with limited movement, strength or even missing limbs to be able to drive a vehicle. Controlling the brake, accelerator, steering is made possible with a range of ‘input devices’ that create endless possibilities and combinations to suit each individual user. The Space Drive system can be used as a single or a dual system, allowing either steering or gas/brake to be fitted independently, or both together for a complete solution.
The input devices can be fitted anywhere in a vehicle providing a bespoke result for the customer. The range of input devices available consists of Joystick steering and Joystick gas brake, Gas/brake levers, Mini steering wheels, rotational input steering devices and custom-made tiller systems. Each of the input devices can be individually calibrated to suit the customer’s needs via the built-in check control or a laptop. Space Drive II also features speed dependent steering and fully programmable parameters, which enables the entire system to be calibrated to each individual driver.
Paravan adopted a safety-first approach when designing the Space Drive II system, utilising fly by wire technology for computerised driving. The system itself has multiple redundant backup systems with two back-up systems running in parallel and its own backup battery system. This enables the driver to have full control of the vehicle, even if the car's power circuits fail. Space Drive II has been approved for use all over the world and conforms to some of the most stringent testing in the automotive industry.
An additional benefit of the Space Drive II system is that it can be easily disengaged allowing the vehicle to be driven by an able-bodied driver.

Product Description:
The Space Drive II Mini Rotational steering device is part of the electronically (digitally) controlled input device family for the Paravan Space Drive system. This steering adaptation is suitable for those with even severely reduced mobility, who cannot operate a standard steering wheel effectively. The rotational steering device is available in two basic options: Each one is small, compact, and ergonomically designed for optimum comfort and control whilst steering a vehicle. The purpose of each device is to overcome the challenge of steering safely due to physical limitations. A selection of handles is available giving the individual customer the best, most comfortable, and secure grip possible, including Peg and Tetra grip
Option 1: Wrist rotation control. The wrist rotation is controlled by wrist movements on a precision guide rail from which the angle of rotation can be adjusted.
Option 2: Parabolic control: Allows digital steering using movement from the shoulder area. Suitable for severe disabilities including quadriplegics. Simple straight-line driving is achieved by precision guide rails and the device’s ability to independently return to a central position.
Both the Wrist rotation and Parabolic controls are available with a high degree of adjustability, with lighter or heavier springs depending on the customers’ requirements. Allowing steering to be extra light that does not need much effort to operate, to heavier steering for those with reduced sensitivity.
The rotational steering input devices are part of the Space Drive product group and are therefore all completely programmable to the individual user through software and programming. They can be fitted almost anywhere to achieve the most comfortable operation possible.
If required, it is possible to integrate the Paravan electric gear selector system into the unit allowing easy access to gear control. In addition, a ‘bleeper’ system can be added to the peg enabling the driver to control a range of secondary functions, including, Indicators, lights, horn, flash and main beam, wipers, hazard lights. All the vehicle controls are then accessible from one compact space.
Benefits and Features: Few limitations on where this can be installed
Benefits and Features: Tailored to individual needs
Product Description:
The Space Drive II Gas brake lever is part of the input device family for the Paravan Space Drive system. The Gas Brake Lever comes in two basic options: A radial type and a linear type. Although almost identical to look at, they perform in different ways. A radial type rocks back and forth in a pivotal type of motion from one point. The Linea type, which as the name suggests, acts in a straight equal, push and pull motion. Both options perform the same function, it’s down to personal choice and ease of use which one is chosen.
In addition to the two basic options, each version has springs of different tension weights. Allowing people with varying degrees of strength and sensitivity in their arms to find the perfect tension for them to operate the brake safely and confidently. Fully adjustable to each person’s requirements. From virtually no effort needed, to stiff springs for those with severely reduced sensitivity.
Both the linear and the radial versions are available with different type of handles to choose from, to provide the maximum comfort while operating. If required, there is the option to add a range of secondary controls e.g., Indicators, lights, horn, flash and main beam, wipers, hazard lights that can be controlled from within easy reach of the gas brake lever.
Being part of the Space Drive group means these Gas Brake Lever input devices are all fully programmable and therefore customised to the individual user through software and programming. Achieving the perfect driving solution for those with severely reduced mobility and limitations, maintaining maximum independence and mobility.
Another option available for controlling the acceleration and braking on your vehicle is a Joystick input device, (Please see Joystick for more information)
Benefits and Features: Change gear at the touch of a button
Benefits and Features: Can be mounted anywhere in the vehicle
Benefits and Features: Compatible with Paravan’s other systems
Benefits and Features: Safety feature prevents accidental gear change
Benefits and Features: Illuminated touch pad
Benefits and Features: Auto dim at night
Product Description:
The Paravan gear control works from a simple, four button touch pad that is available as a standalone unit or as part of the Space Drive equipment range. The unit can be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, allowing it to be fitted in the best place for the driver’s optimum comfort, abilities and within easy reach of other hand controls. A valuable, user-friendly adaptation for the disabled driver to easily operate the gears at the touch of a button.
The touch pads consist of four buttons to control Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive. It is possible in selected vehicles, to have up to three more gear positions utilized through programming the touchpad during installation. For example, if the vehicle has two extra driving modes (those with low range or sports mode etc.) these modes can be accessed by pressing the Drive button in a sequence. pressing the Drive button once will put the vehicle into the usual drive mode. Pressing Drive again will engage the next mode and pressing one more time will engage the last mode. Simply press a fourth time to time to re-engage normal drive mode. Allowing the full potential and characteristics of these vehicles to be experienced.
To ensure maximum safety for driver and passengers, the gear selector will only engage if the brake is depressed. This eliminates the possibility of unintentionally changing gear if any of the touch pad buttons are accidently pressed whilst the vehicle is in motion. The compact touch pad will also illuminate to aid night time driving, with interchangeable colours to add a personal touch.

Benefits and Features: Fully customised to the individual
Benefits and Features: Achievable on most vehicles
Benefits and Features: Reduces the effort needed to steer
Benefits and Features: Suitable for those with reduced strength
Benefits and Features: Suitable for one handed steering
Benefits and Features: Available on the Motability Scheme
Product Description:
This popular driving adaptation is ideal for anyone who is finding that turning the steering wheel on their vehicle is too heavy and hard work.
Lightening the power steering is achieved by removing the vehicle's steering rack/column and modifying it accordingly. Either mechanically or electronically lightening the steering by variable degrees is suitable for most vehicles with hydraulic or electric steering, including hybrid and fully electric models*. Your vehicle does not have to be new to have the steering adjusted in this way.
Lightened power steering enables drivers with significantly reduced strength, or drivers who need to steer their vehicle using one hand only, to drive without fatigue. The degree of lightness required can be determined through an assessment and the steering altered appropriately. From a minor adjustment to achieving feather light steering, we are able to fully customise steering for each individual driver’s needs This markedly reduces the effort needed to steer to a comfortable level and results in the steering and manoeuvring of a vehicle far easier, especially at lower speeds.
Please be aware that this adaptation is permanent and not reversible unless the steering column is replaced. A driving assessment is strongly recommended to determine your needs and your vehicle's suitability.
Please get in touch with us at Driffield Mobility to discuss your requirements.

Benefits and Features: Available on the Motability Scheme.
Product Description:
A simple and very popular device, designed to make steering your vehicle easier when using only one hand on the steering wheel. Often used in conjunction with hand controls that operate the brake and accelerator. One hand always remains on the hand control, either to accelerate or brake, leaving only one hand to steer the vehicle. The steering ball allows safer and greater control over the steering wheel when driving with a single hand, whilst minimising the physical effort needed to rotate the wheel, ideal for those with reduced strength in their arms.
Steering balls can be fitted to all vehicles and positioned anywhere on the steering wheel, 10 o’clock, 2 o’clock etc. The choice is down to personal preference, the most comfortable driving position, and the firmest grip for the individual. Available as a standard fixed model, which is permanently attached to the wheel in the best position for the driver, or a quick release option.
The quick release ball can be detached and reattached easily, leaving only the low-profile base clamp in place, allowing steering in the traditional way by another driver. A useful alternative if someone else drives your vehicle on a regular basis. The ball itself does not prevent the car from being steered in the usual manner whilst still in situ, however, some drivers prefer the ball to be detached before driving.
Fitted onto the steering wheel by means of two bolts and a single clamp and available in selected designs including Ball, Tulip, or Mushroom. Once again, the choice is down to the individual. Each design is ergonomically shaped for the utmost comfort during prolonged use.

Product Description:
With its understated discrete design, The Guidosimplex Over-Ring is an effective electronic hand control for acceleration, without adding additional levers to the steering column or steering wheel.
Fitted directly over the original steering wheel, the Over Ring blends in perfectly with the steering wheel design. To operate, simply press any part of the Over-Ring to achieve smooth acceleration. The Over-Rings’ simple lines, together with the included Guidosimplex Mechanical Push Brake Lever, offers a safe and effective solution to those unable to operate the traditional foot pedals on their automatic transmission vehicle.
By allowing the driver to maintain their usual driving position, and more importantly, allowing the driver to keep both hands on the steering wheel while accelerating, the Over Ring delivers superior control and comfort. In addition, as a further safety measure, sudden braking overrides the accelerator, inhibiting acceleration. The ergonomically designed brake lever is positioned on the steering column. Its flat, unobtrusive shape fits close to the steering wheel, keeping reduction to the vehicle's leg room to a minimum.
Guidosimplex, who designed and created the original Over-Ring, have added the additional useful feature of a Motor reduction button, giving the option of choosing between 100 % and 50% accelerator power. Particularly useful for town and city driving where full acceleration power is not necessary, enabling slow and precise acceleration in traffic and while parking.
Here at Driffield Mobility, we offer both the fixed and the quick release version of the adaptation. The very popular quick release option allows the vehicle to be driven by other drivers using the foot pedals in the usual way, by easily and quickly transferring from hand control to foot pedal.

A solution that removes manual lifting when moving someone between a wheelchair and a car
A car seat that converts into a wheelchair. With Carony’s system, a caregiver simply swivels the occupant out of the vehicle, docks the Carony chassis to the seat, and—just like that—the seat slides onto the chassis and becomes a fully functional wheelchair. Boarding the car works the same way in reverse.
The Turny® Evo is a powered seat lift that extends the car seat fully outside the vehicle and lowers it to your preferred height, making it easier to sit down or transfer from a wheelchair. Once you're in position, a push of a button raises the seat and smoothly brings you into the car. It’s a straightforward and highly effective solution for improving vehicle accessibility.
This is a pre-loved system, the Carony system and the Turny Evo swivel seat can be purchased together or sepaerately.
Benefits and Features: Can be installed into the left or right side of many vehicles.
Benefits and Features: No permanent modification to the vehicle.
Benefits and Features: As safe and comfortable as a standard car seat.

Product Description:
An innovative lift that moves the car seat completely outside of your vehicle, enabling you to remain seated whilst being transported in and out.
The Turny Evo swivel seat is the ideal and practical solution for those experiencing difficulty getting in and out of their vehicle. The Innovative design allows the car seat to turn and finish completely outside of the car, it can then be lowered to the required level. Achieving a rotation of up to 113 degrees outside the vehicle and lowering up to 390 mm, ensuring an easy and safe transfer into the seat from a wheelchair, or anyone who finds getting into their vehicle a struggle. Height adjustability is just at the touch of a button, allowing a nearly always ‘downhill transfer’ from the wheelchair into the seat and vice versa making lighter work of those transfers.
A simple and easy to use push button remote provides full control. The seat can be programmed to meet the individual needs of every user to guarantee the best, most comfortable transfer pathway and optimum leg and head room.
There are two model options available, the Turny Evo HD features a manual swivel whilst the Turny Evo Orbit has a powered swivel. The seat is most commonly installed on the passenger side of the vehicle, however it is also possible to install on the driver’s side in some vehicles.

Product Description:
Dual Controls (sometimes called Instructor brakes) are a second set of floor pedals fitted to the front passenger side of the vehicle via cables. They can be fitted to a wide variety of vehicles, with both manual and automatic transmission.
Whilst most commonly fitted to driving Instructor vehicles, they are also a valuable additional adaptation for learner drivers with a disability. The adaptation can be fitted to vehicles with disability driving adaptations fitted to the driver’s side. The dual controls allow the front passenger to intervene and take over control of the primary functions, such as the brake, should the need arise. Permitting swift evasive action is a vital safety back up to reduce the chances of an accident, ensuring peace of mind for the driver and passenger alike and giving the learner driver increased confidence as they learn to drive.
Dual Controls and Instructor Brakes are a completely reversible adaptation that can be easily removed when no longer required.
Economical and reusable, these controls can be transferred to a different vehicle, usually with only cable renewal required.

Benefits and Features: Safe and effective
Benefits and Features: Hardwired to the vehicles electrics
Benefits and Features: Available on the Motability Scheme
Product Description:
The revolutionary Lodgesons bleeper system provides an advanced solution for those with severely limited overall mobility. It enables driving, which would otherwise prove very difficult or indeed impossible.
Providing simple and effective operation of the indicators, lights (including dip, main and flash), front wipers (intermittent, low, and high speed), rear wash and wipe and the horn. Up to 13 functions are made accessible to those who cannot operate the vehicle’s conventional controls effectively.
This innovative modification is achieved by hard wiring a “bleeper” button within the interior of the vehicle. The button can be fitted in various locations and placement is tailored to each person’s individual ability and comfort. To operate the button can be pressed with hands, fingers, head elbow etc. When pressed and held down, the bleeper will pass through a cycle of secondary functions, bleeping as it passes through each option.
When the required control is reached, it can be selected by holding down the button. The most frequently used controls are at the beginning of the bleeper sequence for convenience. Holding down the button again will cancel the control. This adaptation remarkably improves a person’s ability to control the vehicle's secondary controls whilst they are driving and, once mastered, it provides a very effective and efficient method of selecting many of the vehicle’s important functions..
