Item Details
Electronically Assisted Driving
ILC Reference NO 51:11:011
Item sourced from ILC ACT database
Short Description
A system of primary and secondary driving controls for persons with disability. Because of the electronic assist, only small movements are required to drive a car, making this suitable for use by some quadriplegic people. Driving the car can be achieved using joy stick controls.
Price Guide
Refer to supplier details for pricing.
More Details
The system is customised to suit individual needs and can accommodate acceleration, braking and/or steering.
This system has been approved for use in the Northern Territory and is used both in the US and Europe but does not as yet have approval in other Australian states. However, Jude Lee, who has imported the system, is prepared to work with people who wish to use it to gain the necessary approval.
Installation
All modifications which affect the driving controls must be approved by an Engineering Signatory. The engineering certificate must be produced if requested by an authorised officer such as a Police Officer or Vehicle Inspector.
Licence & Insurance Requirements
The ACT Road Transport Authority guidelines do not allow a person to drive using a modified driving control until they have passed a disability driving test. The test must be done in a modified vehicle with the required attachments. If a licence is granted, the licence must state all special conditions (if any) that are legally required to be used by the applicant, including any special fittings and modifications required in the vehicle to enable them to drive safely.
(For further information on ACT Road Transport Requirements, see the Driving and Licensing Regulations minor group in the Transport section).
