Dual Controls and Instructor Brakes

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.
