Fit-for-Driving No. 13: Adaptation



When life events or the aging process interfere with the skills necessary to drive safely, it is vital that you seek medical consultation with your physician or therapist. The reason this is necessary is that there are many products on the market that can help you drive safely and with greater ease. For example, products such as seat adaptation, pedal adaptation, and steering adaptation are available for persons who are height challenged, have strength issues, or reduced feeling in their extremities. In addition, adaptive devices such as accelerator rings can be mounted on the steering wheel for individuals with impaired or no leg function. These are just a few samples of equipment that are available to help you find solutions for your mobility issues. Consulting you health care professional is a fantastic way to find out which method of adaptation is right for you.
