Chris driving with portable hand controls

[@TheRealNewBlackMusic]

Hey everybody, if you need hand controls look into the pedal Master much more easier to put on and take off. I have been using them for 20 years. Thanks for the great video Chris.

[@bebplank]

Thanks for making this vid Chris. Bilateral amputee here and was looking into options for driving. This helped a lot. Best wishes to you and everyone in the comments.

[@sparky413]

Thanks for doing this video. I have MS and I am looking at different models of hand controls. Your video is by far the most informative on here. I appreciate it very much. I'll keep you in my prayers Chris. Take care and God bless you.

[@jsmilers]

Thanks, Chris. I also use those same controls to drive. You demonstrated it well. Thanks for helping others.

[@bignoyz4111]

Thank you brother Chris. I will be ordering this system soon . I haven't driven in 7 years it's going to be good to have my Independence back again. God is so good. Keep On keepin On Chris.

[@silvermovermedia9737]

Hey Chris useful video inspiring to see you overcome the task of driving. I’m also incomplete quadriplegic since 1973, I’m still killing it mate, 47 years later and I’m about to fit hand controls to my new car.

[@ellau5850]

Very helpful, great video, helping a lot of people, thank you very much

[@chuck6d]

Thanks for the video. I have MS and it’s getting hard using my legs and feet. This definitely showed me the options out there. Thanks Chris!

[@MegaMusical10]

Thank you Chris! I just bought mine & I was scared too death. I walk & maneuver the same way. I will view your video again when I get my courage together. God bless you~

[@ayanlayo1]

Hello May I ask the company name you bought yours from ? I need to purchase a set. Thank you

[@MegaMusical10]

Hey! I got it on Ebay.

[@watchgoose]

Well done! Prayers for continued success and bless you for making this video for others.

[@bradmorris4218]

That is awesome. Im a new right leg amputee and i just got my lisc using a portable left footed accelerator and im a diabetic and losing feeling in my left foot more and more. So im gonna need to do something different eventually. Your video showed me a new way. Keep fighting

[@vanityarrington1676]

Thank you Chris you help me a lot because I been nervous to drive but I will give it a try now!!

[@iAmBrothaDee]

That is so true Chris the foot is stronger but the hand is faster. You have really encouraged me to go on and see what the end will be.

[@moniqueprekins9151]

[@pimpniggapolo]

[@stoit87]

[@Chachie-no3ki]

Very good. Clear and well spoken intruction

[@srqSid]

Nice video and a lot of useful information. Thanks Chris.

[@allans7802]

Great explanation Chris, thank you for that. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@jes587690]

Great Video, Thanks Chris.

[@kenvue2]

Thanks Chris-very useful video. I'm getting ready to install my first set of hand controls after driving left-footed for 50 years with polio. People would have more confidence in Freedom Staff if they had a video like this on their own website. Ken

[@zaydenluciano1124]

sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

[@billydariel9140]

@Zayden Luciano instablaster :)

[@zaydenluciano1124]

@Billy Dariel Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@zaydenluciano1124]

@Billy Dariel It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@billydariel9140]

@Zayden Luciano Glad I could help :D

[@Reesfun]

Thank you sooooooo much. I've been debated which controls to get. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and the pain in my feet makes it impossible to drive. With RA, I also have some limited use with my hands. This video answered the question of which type would work best for me. I truly appreciate that you shared this.

[@pimpniggapolo]

Wonderful @ Theresa. My prayer is that you thrive & live life better than you could have ever imagined. Thank you for your comment

[@sincerewhite1133]

I have MS as well and looking into hand controls. I like the idea of the portable controls over the permanent because of cost and convenience of my traveling.

[@rjjrjjr]

Thanks Chris!

[@TheGimpyGarage]

Stay strong, man! 💪🏻

[@ayanlayo1]

Hello Chris, How are you ? I got my hand controls and installed them in 10 minutes. I like them. It feels so good to drive again. Thank you for help and support.

[@chrismcclendon5385]

Ayan Layo That is amazing! Share with others in your own unique way what was shared with you. God bless you my friend. Be safe and enjoy every second of your drive.

[@ujangtanggang]

where can i get that

[@Uniquelysh33_]

That was very helpful...I would love to meet you and get a driving lesson or at get information on where you bought your equipment.

[@user-bt9sw7fi2c]

Hi Chris and thank you for this demo video. I am from Iraq. I wish there was such a device in my country

[@mannyhenry1356]

Thank you and God bless.

[@pimpniggapolo]

Manny Henry God bless you as well

[@MittchielMcClendon]

Congratulations cousin.

[@ayanlayo1]

Okay Chris Thank You

[@ayanlayo1]

Thank you Chris for responding. I will shop around also. The set you have can also be adjusted to use in any car. Right ? If you get a chance type in ( Ayan putting wheelchair in truck.) on you tube. That's me determined to do this with no legs.

[@sincerewhite1133]

Thanks for this video, I at the point where I have to make a choice and saving on the cost is always helpful, even though Im being told these portable ones are not good for everyday or long term use. That is my main concern. How often do you go out and drive?

[@ThePoppie225]

Please let me know how often you need to retighten the clamps on the pedals.

[@dpl0711]

Thanks Chris

[@chrismcclendon5385]

Ms. White, I have the PHC 3 hand controls. If you have enough strength to raise your are straight up and or open a door, then these hand controls wiłll be suitable for you.

[@559thc]

Great video I think it's time for me to get behind the wheelchair. Thank you

[@mteglobal3458]

Where did u get that driving stick on the steering wheel

[@O23pSt]

What's gd Chris ? Gd looking out with the video ~ I'm looking forward to getting back behind the wheel as well

[@1sicbmw]

Thank you for doing this video! I have a prosthetic on my right leg and I'm in the process of buying a set of hand controls. My only concern was the fitment, being that I am 6'2". But I can see that it is not a problem because you're 6'3".

[@stevelangland3924]

Did you ever try a left foot accelerator? I can drive my pickup pretty normally, but have a harder time with my Terrain and Lucerne for leg room and so forth. For me the left foot accelerator works fine. Maybe because I am used to driving a tractor I can easily use either foot.

[@pimpniggapolo]

I am delighted this video could help encourage you. I appreciate your prayers and I will do the same for you. Look forward to more help videos.

[@lena7373]

I have different controls but I enjoy getting on the road.

[@sincerewhite1133]

What kind of controls do you have?

[@kodiakradio7510]

Still got that seat reclined waaay back. Lol

[@errorserver3000]

Do we have to use right hand or can we use left?

[@zakiaihinnna9759]

Want to ask you if in small town u don t find driving school using hand control are we allow to bring our . I am in canada if any one know how it s work ?

[@pimpniggapolo]

@ Mr. Hargrove, called R&R Vans in Conyers, Ga. They have a website so I suggest you Google the name.

[@mikeinbmore]

Cool video, Chris. I'm a t6 paraplegic and have been driving for years and still haven't made a video yet. This is really motivational. By the way I have gone through several types of hand controls. Once I even rigged my own out of cannibalized parts from an old set, a cane and an aluminum rod. I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone else try that, but I'm unstoppable! Follow on IG or Twitter @MikeInBmore

[@kennycampbelljr5896]

Made me a set out of 3/8" threaded rods drilled holes in the pedals bolted them on and bent the other end at 90deg. angles and put some black tape on them. Before that I drove with a cane. T-7 para.

[@rustyfenceford8724]

Is it hard to pass the drivers license road test? Much respect!

[@juniorvong9004]

Hey Chris I seen everyone is using their left hand to use the hand control, but you are using it with your right. I'm like you I sterl with my left so I can use the stick with right then???

[@jennyeugene6831]

i am very scared to get out on the road because my whole i have been always driven somewhere by someone i am going to get me the controls but i am still afraid. where did you get yours and how much practice did you take before going out to get you licence?

[@pimpniggapolo]

TripleC- Crayz, Crazier & Cool I am sure you will be find. Take your necessary precautions, have someone with you & create a safety plan, such as the passenger is prepared to take over the wheel or intercede in pushing the brakes. A helpful viewer recently posted a link where you can purchase the hand controls.

[@stevelangland3924]

You just need to find an area where you can simply practice like a large empty parking lot. Another option is enroll in a driving school to build confidence. I found driving again after losing my right leg is scary, but the more I drive the more confident I am becoming. Start with a simple short route and then drive further as you are comfortable. My late grandmother who had never driven a car until age 62 and able bodied did fine, but also knew her limitations as well but it gave her the independence she needed to stay in her country home after Grandpa died, otherwise she would have had to move to town. You will gain the confidence and do well

[@pyrabelle]

Hi Chris! I have spastic Cerebral Palsy my right hand/arm is very weak do you think these hand controls will be suitable for me? I want to learn to drive.

[@chrismcclendon5385]

Hello there, Already, I like your attitude. It is difficult for me to judge whether or not these particular hand controls will work for you. What makes them work for me regarding my grip and strength, is that my right hand tightens automatically (muscle tone) when I begin to utilize it. As far as my strength and my ability to push the hand controls for brakes and pull for gas, for me, it's somewhat easy. However, the more you drive the easier it gets. Stay motivated. Thanks for viewing.

[@pyrabelle]

Thanks. And thank you for giving me hope that is this is a possibility. God bless.

[@chrismcclendon5385]

Ihinnna, I am sure that wherever you are, the driving school should allow you to use whatever accommodations you need.

[@kuldipjandu1313]

See hand control system in Kuldip jandu A & B 2 in 1 A B C 3 in 1 by Kuldip jandu

[@ayanlayo1]

I need to purchase that set. Does anyone know the company name ?

[@chrismcclendon5385]

Ayan Layo Ayan, The model of the hand controls are the PHC-3. The website I discovered who were selling them is wheelability.com/ However, they were around $379 and you may find them a bit cheaper if you shop around. Best regards, Chris

[@mteglobal3458]

Where did u get that steering knob been trying to find one forever

[@chrismcclendon5385]
