Even with the hand controls he is accelerating, braking, steering all with one hand, just don't see how that is possible

I have a friend I grew up with that has a van with hand controls. He had too much to drink one night and had to drive the van. That was interesting. I had to install a drivers seat where he would normally park his wheel chair to drive. I didn't secure the seat correctly and as soon as I gave the van some gas the seat flipped over backwards. Luckily we were still in a parking lot.

It's more of sip and puff as is done with quadriplegic wheelchairs. In Ruston, at the LaTech Biomed facility they do evals for the disabled for chairs, vehicles, etc.
