:-? I had one fitted to my old Series III Landy; I always frightened myself by imagining how my forehead would look with that embedded in it! :o

There are probably disability exemptions in place for those that need them. some drivers fit them to their trucks but i'm not a fan of them myself except on forklifts where you nee alot of lock to lock quickly.

More likely to break your hand or thumb if a front wheel hit a rut & span full lock in a second.
These gimmicks should never be fitted to any off road vehicle.

ISTR that they aren't supposed to be fitted in the UK for driving (only for manoeuvring) except by medical certificate... But may be wrong :-/ :-/

Not every disabled driver use's them. I drive with disabled drivers hand controls and I don't use one.
Learnt to drive without one as that's what my assessor advised me to do before I went to drive a test car, said they were dangerous.
Damn right to... if you don't use it 100% of the time, as if you try to use the wheel ordinary and the wheel spins around too quick, they don't have cause some bruising on the wrist bone, and cause a lot of loud swearing to :o
People don't seem to be scared of my driving even though I don't use a steering ball though.
Mind you Lee (Wellung) may say different ;D
