Driving Ability
Driving after illness
Some conditions can disturb thinking skills or the way the environment is perceived and careful assessment is necessary to ensure that it is safe to return to the road.
This 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 assessment concludes with advice on whether it is safe to return to driving at this stage of your recovery.
