Driving School Assist
Foreword :
The best universal dual pedal controls will put you in control of your driving school or bussiness. Because it is universal, you save on adaptation cost every time you cycle vehicles.
With little effort, these controls can virtually be fitted or transferred to any vehicle, car, truck, bus, you name it! The system is rigid, practically designed and generally no need for removing vehicle air blowers or cutting through center consoles when installing. The seamless cable system allows for routing at almost any angle or through-hole, and with the integrated pulley system, it feels as smooth and responsive like the original pedals.
It even gets better by the 'quick release' feature for quick removal and re-fitment between work and play. No tools required for eveyday use. For a pemanent lock, tighten with a 'size 10 allan wrench key'.
Why you need dual pedal controls :
The bussiness environment :
From a bussiness perspective, your customers (especially learner drivers) will feel safer and more secure behind the steering wheel for the first time. Knowing that there is an instructor override and with little help in the beginning, the learner driver will confidently grasp the basics quicker. Quicker learning will secure a better success rate on assessments passed.
Simply, not only is the instructor in control, but everybody on the road will be so much safer.
Prolonged mechanical life for your vehicle:
Clutch- spinning, heating and burning, engine stalling or over'revving' can cause great damage to your vehicle's mechanical parts. Prolonged abuse will definately shorten the lifespan of your vehicle. The use of dual pedal controls will increase your savings on vehicle running and maintenance cost.
Insurance risk factor:
Due to the fact that you have more control over the actions of learner drivers, your bussiness operates in a more 'controlled' environment, making it safer for everybody. This simple fact should be negotiated with your insurer as it also provides them with a lower risk factor.
Why test centres and licensing officers prefers dual controls:
Many new bussinesses pass through and the testing officer is not nescessarily familiar to your training skills, plus they do not know for certain if the learner will be capable to control the vehicle properly and safely in case of an emergency scanario...
Accidents can still happen when students excecute their drivers license exam. Testing officers actually put their own lives at risk when driving along complete strangers. Please respect and acknowledge the dangerous scenarios they deal with.
Your driving school will definately pose an advantage and win favour with your local testing center, setting the standard for proper driver training. Valueating the officer's safety will also ensure a better bussiness reputation you can build from.
Why can I not have a dual steering wheel installed ?
Unfortunately by specification within the National Road Traffic Act of 2008, it is prohibited to have two steering wheels fitted in a vehicle that is to be used on public roads.
Controlling a second/alternative steering wheel can create confusion, panic and/or danger.
Besides, if an instructor feels the need for swerving away from danger, the original steering wheel can be quickly grabbed from the side in order to swiftly dodge danger.
