Abstract
A vehicle hand control assembly which, when installed on a motor vehicle, allows the user to control the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal with his hands. Two telescoping members are pivotally attached to a plate which is then secured to the individual pedal with a strap. The strap loops around the pedal and is then attached to the telescoping member with a hook and loop fastener in order to secure the strap, thereby allowing the user to easily install the device without reaching to the floor.
