I am writing on behalf of my son, Kenny. He has a Spinal Cord Injury at C1/C2, and C5/C6/C7. He has (and is still having) miraculous recoveries. Our hope is for him to become independent, and seeing your video has made us even more hopeful than ever before. Thank you for sharing!!!!!

I just bought a van that I can drive right from my powerchair. I LOVE it. Like you said, it sure does give you a lot more freedom in your life.

Dan - Thank you for the video. You have shown me in fifteen minutes what I have not learned in my sixty-four years of life. I congratulate your tenacity and your willingness to achieve.

all your vds r excellent. both channels. I really hope u will have new vds looking forward to them u r a true inspiration N a role model. great work.

When they fit the space drive accelerator and brake, you have to push forward for brake, and pullback for acceleration/gas. My systems have always worked like this and it's all down to safety. If you think about it, if you get thrown forward for some reason whilst you are driving, you don't want to be pushing your hand forward and accelerating any more. I'm surprised these companies haven't thought about this.

Very well done and informative, Thank you for taking the time. Jeff

i am 40 yr old C6 trying to get new van not sure to get joystick or something more simple .Dan what you do for a living bud your an inspiration

very nice

Great job Dan. I loved the video. I use to drive a EGB van but due to health issues I had to stop. This brought back such great memories. I can relate to the utter joy it gives you to have that freedom back.

I love your video, thank goodness for modern technology. I am a para since birth and have a van with hand controls. Love your smile.

Thank you Dan, you video was very helpful!

Hi, great system. Must increase your independence greatly. I'm quadriplegic since 1983 I can drive ok with a simple push/pull brake/accelerator system but I'm stuck when it comes to getting the chair into the car.

Thanks for helping others by posting this. :)

Wow! That van is like some kinda spaceship hehe

Thanks Dan. You are an inspiration.

Excellent. Really state of the art. Thanks.

at the moment i dont need to have a van im newly in a wheelchair for mobility at the moment.. ty so much for your vid i love the idea of being able to drive ..

Hi there Dan, good to see another tetraplegic driving using specialised controls. I can totally empathise with you regarding the spasms. I've been driving for 20 years and last September for the first time ever had an accident due to a spasm. Like you, it's very important to try and get rid of any spasm before you drive. I would encourage disabled drivers who do suffer from spasms to at least take tablets, even if it's just before they go out. There's nothing worse than having a bad spasm when you're driving, it's absolutely terrifying. I just had my driving controls changed, I was using joystick, I'm now using a mini steering wheel, I will be making a video very soon.

Our war veterans who come home paralyzed should by rights have unrestricted access to this type of technology, paid for completely by the government (who sent them to war in the first place). I see too many of our disabled vets having to fight a new battle when they arrive back home, just getting their most basic needs taken care of, and it's a damned shame! Thank goodness for those individuals in the private sector who step up to the plate with the funding necessary to give these most deserving people their freedom back, especially after they sacrificed so much for ours.

Wow you are amazing! I'm getting my first drive from wheelchair car in the summer 2015. The only concern for you is that you don't have a head restraint for whiplash prevention. Here in the UK they have an automatic head restraint fitted. Thanks for the video, I wish you safe and happy driving.
