“YES, you can still drive a car when you have a limb difference…

I have an automatic which means not having to change gears (why everyone doesn’t just have an automatic as standard is beyond me, they’re so much easier!!!)

The only minor adaptation that I need is my steering ball to control the wheel while navigating the roads… I use my stump for the indicator and it’s easy peasy!
