FAQs
1. Are your adaptations avaliable through the motability Scheme?
All Brig-Ayd Products are avaliable through the motability scheme.
2. What type of hand controls would suit me best?
It is always easier to use hand controls on a automatic car. There are several different types of hand controls available, which require different amounts of strength and dexterity. The most common hand controls supplied in the UK are a single lever type and although these maybe the inexpensive controls they can be tiring to use especially if traveling long distances.
If you are concerned you may find these controls tiring, then there are electronic operated throttle systems available with either a ring fitted to the steering wheel or a trigger fixed to the main hand control.
The best thing to do if you are new to driving with hand controls is to contact one of the many assessment centres around the UK, where you can get experience from using the different controls, before having any adaptations fitted to your vehicle.
