05/07/2009 - Q’s 007 gadget Now Available to Mobility Drivers Through Autoadapt
Autoadapt, the top EU supplier of mobility adaptations is now selling and marketing the CG-Lock.
This small palmed-size device that clips onto your existing seatbelt is being used regularly by top stunt performers all over the world including the latest Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” as it makes them ‘at one’ with the car. The same rationale is helping mobility drivers too as it is all about gaining more control and driving with more confidence.
Many mobility drivers will know the scene – they get to a roundabout or tight bend and they have to slow right down to almost dangerously low speeds to negotiate the road safely, annoying the other drivers. Why? Well, because when steering a hand controlled vehicle the driver cannot brace the wheel to increase stability… indeed hand controlled cars are driven as all cars should be… with the steering wheel used just for that STEERING! However with regular seatbelts “turn right – fall left” occurs and so most drivers have to slow right down to maintain control.
Now with the 5 minute CG-Lock fitted to the seatbelt, the lapbelt works just like an aircraft seat, so can hold the driver in place giving them significantly more control of the wheel and accelerator/brake. Now with the CG-Lock, drivers can approach any corner with more confidence and blend in with the rest of the traffic. The CG-Lock allows you to concentrate on your driving, and not on ‘hanging on’ in your seat…any instructor will tell you that the good drivers have hands light on the wheel… Being firmly positioned in the seat leads to safer and more confident driving… good driving is all about being smooth and controlled.
“The CG-Lock is probably one of the smartest little aids ever introduced to the mobility market which according to our first clients makes it a must for all disabled drivers”, says Autoadapt Marketing Manager Don Beattie.
Now mobility driving doesn’t have to hold up the traffic and can still be smooth and controlled… a little more like James Bond, but arriving neither shaken or stirred!
