Document summary

RICA has carried out desk research and consulted with motoring and disability experts to identify the technologies that are particularly helpful for older and disabled drivers, including people with reduced strength, dexterity, reaction time or hearing. In this report we list these technologies and detail those that are available on a selection of popular cars. Vehicles were selected from those popular with Motability customers during 2015/16.
