Jim came to DriveRx after experiencing difficulty driving due to a lack of sensation and coordination in his feet. As the primary driver in his household, this made driving not only challenging but also unsafe. With the unwavering support of his family—who were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the RMV—Jim was able to regain his independence. Today, Jim confidently drives using hand controls, a transformation that has given him back the freedom he once feared he’d lost. Jim is using right side push-pull hand controls.
We are truly grateful to Jim and his family for trusting DriveRx to help him achieve his driving goals!
