Mobility in Motion, one of the UK’s leading vehicle adaptation specialists, has launched a new nationwide survey to better understand how disability, long-term health conditions and limited mobility affect people’s ability to use a car, whether as a driver or passenger, and if they are aware of vehicle adaptations.
The research aims to uncover why some people have reduced, stopped, or considered giving up driving, why others never learned to drive, and the challenges many passengers face when getting in and out of a vehicle or travelling comfortably.
The company is inviting disabled people, those living with long-term health conditions, carers, family members and anyone affected by mobility challenges to share their experiences.

Why does access to a car matter so much?
For many people, a car represents far more than simply getting from A to B. It provides independence, access to work and healthcare, opportunities to see family and friends, and the freedom to take part in everyday life. Yet many people remain unaware of the vehicle adaptations available that could help them continue driving or make travelling as a passenger easier, safer and more comfortable.
Through the survey, Mobility in Motion hopes to better understand the scale of this awareness gap, identify the barriers people face, and explore whether improved information and guidance could help more people remain mobile and independent.
What does Mobility in Motion hope to discover?
“We regularly speak to people who tell us they didn’t realise vehicle adaptations existed or assumed their mobility challenges meant they had reached the end of the road,” said Matt Fieldhouse, Group Managing Director at Mobility in Motion.
“But maintaining independence isn’t only about driving. For many people it’s about being able to get into a car comfortably, travel safely, and continue taking part in everyday life. Access to transport is closely linked to independence, employment, social connection, healthcare, and quality of life. We want to hear directly from people about the challenges they face and whether improved awareness and information could help more people make informed decisions about their mobility.”
The survey will focus on several key areas, including:
- Awareness and understanding of vehicle adaptations
- Whether people have reduced, stopped, or considered stopping driving because of mobility challenges
- Reasons why some people never learned to drive
- The practical, emotional, or financial barriers preventing access to adapted driving solutions
- Whether better information, guidance, or support would encourage people to continue driving, return to driving, or travel more confidently

How could the findings improve accessible transport?
The findings will help build a clearer picture of the challenges facing disabled people and those with limited mobility across the UK and contribute to wider conversations around accessibility, independence and inclusive mobility.
The survey is open now and has been extended until the end of August to ensure more people can take part. It takes only a few minutes to complete.
