Dual Controls
Dual controls allow the front car passenger, (a driving instructor or driving mentor) to take car control from the learner driver in an emergency. For vehicles fitted with automatic gearboxes these are normally fitted with a floor-mounted brake pedal.
For vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox these are fitted normally with two floor- mounted pedals one for braking and the other for clutch control. Dual controls cars are available for both able bodied and disabled learners. The disabled adaptations of both hand controls and left foot accelerators are fitted to Netna dual control cars.
Netna have introduced driving mentors to assist the learning programme for both learner drivers and advanced drivers. The driving instructor works together with the driving mentors and learners to make the learning programme an enjoyable experience. All learner drivers, driving instructors and driving mentors find dual controls an invaluable aid.
