Space-Drive On-Road Assessments
The PME training and assessment vehicle 'Evaluator 1' is set up with the state of the art Space Drive II suite. The Space Drive II suite of electronic driving controls has made it possible for many people, even those with serious disabilities, to experience the freedom and independence of driving themselves.
PME can arrange assessments for customers considering a Space-Drive conversion. These assessments are performed by a driving instructor who has undergone specailised training in Germany to be certified in Space-Drive technology.
You will also have access to Occupational Therapists who specailise in driving assessments using Spacedrive technology. With the knowledge to understand the complexities of the Spacedrive system and high-level disabilities they are able to tailor a driving control to best suit your abilities.
Space-Drive Assessments are completed in PME’s specially equipped ‘Evaluator 1’, the only vehicle of it's kind in Australia. The 'Evaluator 1' can be rapidly adapted with the different configurations that are available, such as mini-wheel, accelerator and brake lever and joystick. Giving you the opportunity to be assessed with multiple driving setups to determine what feels most comfortable for you. Also exclusive to the industry is the Spacedrive instructor console which allows your instructor to safely monitor your actions and take full control if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. Learn in confidence.
All assessments are carried out on-road in our quiet leafy suburb of Hornsby Heights. For on-road assessments of general vehicle control, PME also has access to a HART closed course facility.
