Total Passenger Control of the Family Car. Zero Drilling.
The only No-Drill, Portable Passenger Hand Brake Built for Parent-Taught Driver Education.
Teaching your teenager to drive in the family car shouldn't feel terrifying. If you are navigating your state's GDL program and looking for a reliable way to slow down or bring the vehicle to a complete emergency stop from the passenger side, old-school commercial driving school foot pedals aren't the answer. When searching for a way to safely stop a vehicle from the passenger side during parent-taught driver education, most parents find only heavy, outdated, commercial driving instructor foot pedals. They cost hundreds of dollars and require drilling permanent holes into your personal car. The Controller® by Driving Success, Inc. changes everything. As the only hand-actuated passenger braking system, it replaces 1940s cable-and-pulley technology with an elegant, portable mechanical arm operated entirely by the parent's hand. Engineered specifically for personal vehicles and family cars, it lets you instantly slow down or execute an emergency stop while practicing. It clamps onto your existing brake pedal arm in just 15 seconds, with zero tools and no vehicle damage, giving you total mechanical control with your hand and arm from the passenger side. It transfers between vehicles in seconds, requires no drilling, and provides a direct haptic connection to keep your teen safe during every practice mile.

Why The Controller® - Driver Training Brake?
3.5 million new drivers in the US learn to drive each year. Parent-taught Driver Education has become the new standard. The Driver Training Brake adds an essential layer of safety - a portable, drill-free, non-invasive braking solution. The best passenger brake for parent-taught driver ed.
Stop drilling. Start Coaching. The Controller® is a Specialty Hand-Actuated Brake Tool. Since the 1950s, driver education hasn't evolved - until now. The Controller® shifts the control from your feet to your hand, providing the precision to manage "panic freeze" moments that a floor-mounted pedal simply can't match. With haptic guidance, (feel the feedback; the sense of touch,) the new driver can feel and respond faster than with verbal guidance alone. It's not just a brake; it's a specialized, non-invasive, haptic guidance device for the modern parent, friend, or instructor.
Why standard online driver ed apps leave your family at risk:
State GDL laws mandate 40 to 50 hours of over-the-road practice, but give parents zero tools to stay safe. If your teen freezes, panics, or hits the wrong pedal, your voice is your only defense.
The Driver Ed Station Bundle is the ultimate solution:
We bundle our patented passenger hand-brake system with the How to Drive and Survive curriculum. You get a non-invasive, haptic guidance device that lets you smoothly apply braking pressure before a situation becomes a crisis. Give your beginner driver the confidence to relax, focus, and learn.
Millions of parents are required to supervise their teens for driver's education, most do so without the crucial safety measure of a passenger-side brake, a standard for professional instructors. Parents must use their family car without a way to stop the vehicle, as a professional driving instructor would. Research indicates that guidance-as-needed, and haptic guidance such as the physical intervention provided by the Controller®, yields significantly better long-term retention of driving skills among young novice drivers than training without haptic support.
The Controller® - Driver Training Brake is the best passenger brake for parent-taught driver ed and serves as an invaluable tool in driver education, enabling parents, commercial instructors, supervisors, and DMV evaluators to test drivers through challenging scenarios with added safety and control. The Controller is the only non-invasive GDL device with haptic guidance that allows you to pull back on the brake to get the student driver to release pressure on the brake.

The Controller® - Driver Training Brake is the ultimate tool, a non-Invasive device for anyone teaching someone to drive. Designed to enhance safety and confidence during driving lessons, this haptic guidance system offers unparalleled control and ease of use. The application of force-feedback or haptic guidance reduces the "visual demand" on the novice driver by 29%, allowing them to focus more on higher-order scanning and hazard detection.
It is crucial for not just parents but for anyone to prioritize caution and safety behind the wheel during lessons.

THE CONTROLLER® - Driver Hand Braking
Regain Your Driving Independence with an Adjustable Hand Control Designed by a Driver Rehab Expert
Designed by David W. McGinnis for drivers with neuropathy, amputees, and other mobility challenges. Features tool-free telescoping links for a custom fit, a universal swivel joint for ambidextrous use, and 15-second installation.
Reclaim the freedom of the open road with The Controller® - Driver Hand Braking, invented by 50-year driver rehabilitation specialist David W. McGinnis. For drivers with neuropathy and amputees, standard pedals pose unique safety hazards. A person with an amputation driving with a prosthetic leg must lift and move the prosthetic down the thigh to shift between gas and brake, a slow motion that makes emergency stops dangerous. Our patent-pending control completely eliminates this risk by putting responsive, tactile braking power directly into your hands. Engineered with a universal swivel joint, it can be operated comfortably with either your right or left hand to prevent muscle fatigue on long drives. It features adjustable, telescoping links that adapt in seconds to fit drivers of any height, installing tightly onto your brake arm in just 15 seconds and detaching in 5. Best of all, it features absolute fail-safe protection: because braking mechanically overrides acceleration, simply pushing the hand lever will safely stop your vehicle even if a prosthetic or numb foot accidentally presses down on the gas pedal. Skip the thousands of dollars in permanent vehicle alterations. The Controller® gives you the precise control and ultimate safety to drive your own car, swap vehicles, or use a rental on your own terms.
