Isabelle Weall, a 17-year-old girl in Derby, England who became a quadruple amputee at the age of seven due to a life-threatening case of meningitis, cheerfully showed-off her new car.
The white Ford Focus Active X model that she now owns features a number of strategic adaptations that allow her to safely drive with confidence. The modifications include keyless entry, levers to adjust the seat, 3D printed cups for each arm – the one on the right controls acceleration and braking, while the one on the left controls the steering, a button by her leg to control the lights and a double brake for when she needs a bit of assistance while driving.
