Can anybody recommend a car insurance provider who would insure me as an additional driver on my husband's car if we had hand controls fitted to it?  I have a Motability car with hand controls but it would be really helpful to be able to drive either car in different circumstances.  Thanks.

Have you spoken to the existing insurance company to see if they'll cover you?

Will your husbands car require modifying to fit hand controls?

Yes... its not a string and pully system to pull the accelerator using a hand lever.

Most insurers will normally be fine with modifications for disabilities.
