At exactly 4 months post-accident, Gabe a DAK (double above the knee) amputee gets his first chance to drive a car since he lost his legs. Roilene from the Miller Driving School introduces Gabe to the ways of hand control driving.
@WBarts Not all disabled peeps have the upper body strength and/or balance to safely steer one-handed. If anybody would understand this I'd expect another disabled person to, even if you personally do have the ability.. Suicide knobs allow me to steer my Miata, MX-3 & RX-7!! :D
Agreed...I took the knob off my car 2 days after my hand controls were installed. I was already used to turning with one hand while driving stick before my accident. Besides...the spinner knob made me feel even more crippled! When I'm in my car I want to feel like everyone else.
Its easy mate, good luck. I've uploaded a video of me driving with hand controls (single above knee right leg amputee, but driving a manual/stick shift) if its any help to you have a look.
Thanks to the inventor of the automatic transmission
