How do I drive if I can't lift or release the handbrake?
Adaptations for disabled drivers
You will need to use a handbrake release lever. To put the handbrake on you pull the large handle up. To release the handbrake you squeeze the two handles together. This should make it easier to operate with your left arm. It also makes it easier to operate with your right arm because the lever is higher up.
