Vehicle accessibility and Whiplash Injury

A seat that provides pressure relief and overall support of the back. The bucket seat cushion provides good support for the back on uneven roads. A seat with an inflatable lumbar support can help alleviate back pain during long trips. Some seats are highly adaptable and can easily be customised with foam blocks to provide the best possible support. The ability to modify the seat position reduces the risk of injury from sitting in one position for a long time. It can also improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of concentrated pressure on the seat bones.

Available on most cars of today as standard this feature can also be retrofitted for people who find it difficult to turn around while reversing a car.

Once installed, getting hold of the belt requires no or minimal turning of the body.

For those who find it hard to turn the steering wheel, it's possible to lighten the power steering. By doing this the steering wheel requires much less force to manoeuvre. This adaptation is often carried out for drivers with limited arm and shoulder function, such as people with rheumatism. Please note that light power steering is not available for all car models.

A powered sun visor is a small adaptation for those who are unable or find it difficult to raise their arms to fold down the sun shield.

Wide-angle mirrors are ideal for those who find it difficult turning their head. These can be very useful when changing lanes or going in reverse.
