Hand Control FAQs

Sure Grip hand controls are designed for drivers who have good grip strength and hand function. They feature a rotating handle for acceleration and braking. MPD driving controls are suitable for individuals with limited hand function or strength, as they use a push-pull motion for acceleration and braking. MPS hand controls are highly customizable and can be tailored to the driver’s specific needs and abilities.

For individuals with limited hand function or strength, we recommend the MPD Driving Controls. These controls use a push-pull motion for acceleration and braking, making them easier to operate than systems that require a rotating motion or significant grip strength.

Yes, many modern hand controls — like Sure Grip, MPD, and MPS — are built to work with features like adaptive cruise control. Just let us know your car’s make and model, and our team will help you determine the best hand control solution.

While it might look straightforward, hand controls are complex and directly impact your driving safety. That’s why it’s best always to leave the installation to a professional (like the technicians in our parts & service department)

You sure can! Southern Bus offers some vehicles with hand controls for short-term rentals. Just keep in mind that availability might be limited, so it’s best to call ahead and make sure we have what you need.

In most cases, installing hand controls won’t void your warranty as long as the installation is done by a certified professional and doesn’t mess with your vehicle’s original systems. At Southern Bus, our technicians are trained to follow manufacturer guidelines, so you can rest easy knowing your warranty is safe with us.

Generally speaking, as long as you’ve got a valid driver’s license and feel comfortable using the hand controls, you’re good to go! Some states might need you to have a special endorsement or restriction on your license, though. It’s always a good idea to check with your local DMV to make sure you’re in the clear.

That depends on the type of hand controls you have and how they’re installed. Some systems, like the ones we offer at Southern Bus, can be easily disengaged when not in use, so other drivers can use the foot pedals. Our team can help you find the best solution for your situation, especially if you’re sharing the car with someone who doesn’t need hand controls.
