German term or phrase: Fahrschulbesteck
To all you car racing experience enthusiasts, driving school instructors and translation geniuses, can you help me with this one?

The sports cars, such as McLaren MP4-12Cs, used for the advertised race training experiences are equipped with this and other features to ensure safety.

Do you know the english term for: Fahrschulbesteck?

They are the controls for the driving constructor, such as break pedal etc., on the passenger side of the car.

Thanks so much and have a great day.

Notes to answerer
Asker: This sounds right. Sorry btw. I meant to write driving instructor not driving constructor and brake pedal not break pedal. Yikes. Der deutsche Satz war: Höchste Sicherheit dank spezieller Safety-Ausstattung mit Überrollkäfig und Fahrschulbesteck. Vielen Dank. :)

  -> Silly me. I keep forgetting British (which, incidentally, also uses "gas pedal") is the only acceptable form of English on the planet :-)
