Driving Assessment
Driving assessment after illness
A careful driving assessment is required if you have suffered from a condition that may have disturbed thinking skills or the way the environment is perceived. The driving assessment will help to determine whether it is safe to return to the road. This driving assessment allows you to explore your visual, cognitive and physical ability and if appropriate, to have a first try at driving again in a safe environment. Suitable controls adaptations can be used if there are any physical limitations. You will be accompanied by a specialist assessor and using a car with dual controls.
Every effort will be made to assist you with any difficulty. The driving assessment concludes with advice on whether it is safe to return to driving at this stage of your recovery.
Continuing to drive safely
Age related changes affect everyone and the driving assessment offers a full check up with a report. This can be useful at licence renewal, or if there has been any cause for concern.
Potential learner drivers with certain disabilites find this driving assessment useful for clarifying their needs.
Report
A written summary report is provided following the driving assessment. The format is not suitable for legal use. Solicitors and insurance companies may also commission assessments with more detailed reports for their clients and are invited to apply for details.
