Help Shape the Future of Accessible Travel

Have you ever struggled to get in or out of a car because of a disability, health condition or reduced mobility? Have you stopped driving, or considered it? We’d love to hear your experience.

At Mobility in Motion, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to travel safely, comfortably and independently.

Yet every week we speak to people who tell us they didn’t realise vehicle adaptations existed, assumed there wasn’t a solution for their mobility challenges, or thought giving up driving was their only option.

That’s why we’re launching a new nationwide Disabled Driving Survey to better understand the real barriers people face and help improve awareness of the solutions that could make everyday travel easier.

Why Are We Running This Survey?

For many people, a car is about much more than getting from A to B.

It provides the freedom to:

• Stay independent
• Get to work
• Attend medical appointments
• Visit family and friends
• Continue hobbies and everyday activities

But when driving becomes more difficult, or getting into a car becomes uncomfortable, many people don’t know where to turn for advice.

As specialists in vehicle adaptations, we know there are solutions that can make driving and travelling easier. From swivel seats and transfer plates to hand controls, pedal adaptations and boot hoists, there are adaptations available for a wide range of mobility needs.

What we don’t yet know is how many people are missing out simply because they aren’t aware these solutions exist.

Through this survey, we hope to better understand:

• The challenges people experience when driving or travelling by car.
• Whether a lack of awareness is preventing people from exploring vehicle adaptations.
• The barriers that stop people from remaining mobile and independent.
• What information or support could be improved to make a real difference.

How Will the Results Be Used?

The findings will help us build a clearer picture of the challenges facing disabled people and those with limited mobility across the UK.

We’ll use the results to:

• Better understand awareness of vehicle adaptations.
• Create more helpful guides and resources based on real experiences.
• Highlight common barriers that prevent people accessing adapted vehicles.
• Support wider conversations around accessibility, independence and inclusive mobility.
• Share the findings publicly to help raise awareness of the challenges people face and the solutions available.

Ultimately, we hope this research encourages more people to seek advice before assuming they have to stop driving or give up travelling by car altogether.
