58 Driver safety training for disabled individuals (Germany and Italy) Germany The BMW M Driving Academy’s special driving safety training for people with physical disabilities utilises converted current BMW and MINI models. These vehicles can be controlled by hand while keeping both hands at the steering wheel. This is possible thanks to a separate ring on the steering wheel (accelerator) and a special brake lever placed directly next to it. Italy Since 2016, BMW Group Italy has been collaborating with Diversamente Disabili. The courses have been specifically developed for disabled motorcyclists and utilise modified motorbikes. Participants may also obtain a special driving licence or compete in frequently organised motorcycle championships. LOCAL | INCLUSION FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
