Adaptations in Action! 🧑🦽This week’s top tip is for Remote Keypad Controls Did you know? 🤔 This adaptation is very popular among drivers who have experienced a stroke and are left with reduced functionality on one side, and is often used in conjunction with a left foot accelerator pedal. If you have functional use of only one arm, a remote keypad attached to a steering aid enables you to steer and operate the auxiliary controls, such as the indicators and wipers, with one hand. There are various shapes and sizes of keypads available. The control can be mounted on either the left or the right side of the steering wheel, and can also easily be removed and switched off when not in use, for example if someone else wishes to drive the vehicle. FACT! Herts Ability has a fleet of dual controlled vehicles with a range of driving and transfer adaptations. Every vehicle is fitted with dual controls for safety and insurance purposes and all assessments take place in a dual controlled car. A client can use their own (or an instructor’s vehicle) if it is fitted with dual controls. As always Herts Ability is happy to help with any request you have. 👉 Our aim is to help YOU get back on the road. Please call us on 01707 324 581 or email driving@hertsability.org.uk for more information! 👈 #Automotive #Independence #VehicleControls #Charity #HertsAbility

Involved in a discussion around electric trucks' load carrying and towing capabilities, and charged performance degradation. The discussion was more commercial transport, but my interest is more personally owned vehicles like Ford Lightnings and Rivian R1Ts used for towing travel trailers. I just stumbled onto this fabulous Rivian discussion and video on "Different modes for different roads" feature highlights, and the software features are amazing. Please review it if interested, but also if you are a Rivian R1T owner, please comment on your personal charged performance and resulting degradation when towing. (Go to: https://lnkd.in/gaf-4Y94)
