Steering wheel handle with horn button

8th May 2023

Our client has a VW T5 Transporter based camper van which had been been adapted in the past for hand control.

A combined hand throttle and brake is operated by the right hand, and the client steers mainly with the left hand, using this handle attached to the steering wheel – similar to commercially available steering wheel knobs which are popular with van and HGV drivers to apply steering lock quickly.

The problem was the vehicle horn was not included in any of the adaptations, and our client was finding it very difficult to press the airbag/horn assembly due to its strong springs – in addition to the obvious problem of needing both hands to properly control the vehicle. The hand throttle/brake setup included some additional switches already, for indicators and headlight dip, but there was no suitable position for us to add a horn switch on that side.
