So, how does Nicky drive? Car adaptations include:
* Joystick Hydraulic Steering (Nicky operates this with her right shoulder - move the joystick back to turn right and forward to turn left - watch that steering wheel spin!)
* Raised Accelerator and Brake Pedals (automatic transmission)
* Electric switches for the gear shift and hand brake (positioned on the brake pedal - Nicky operates these switches with her toe!)
* Infra-red Beeper System (red button that Nicky operates with her left foot prosthetic) - there are 9 "beeps" for secondary functions including hooter, indicators, lights and windscreen wipers
Seeing is believing!!! Go check out videos of Nicky in action on the Facebook Group
