The On-Road Assessment
The on-road assessment is completed by an Occupational Therapist and certified Driving Instructor with experience in rehabilitation. A dual-controlled vehicle is used for the assessment for safety reasons. An automatic or manual car can be arranged for the assessment. A vehicle with appropriate vehicle modifications or driving aids can be arranged for trial, depending on your needs.
Post assessment outcomes
Following the assessment, your Occupational Therapist and driving instructor may advise you of the following options:
- You are assessed as safe to drive.
- You are assessed as unsafe to drive.
- Adaptions to your vehicle are required/recommended.
- Recommendation for further driving lessons with reassessment.
- The Occupational Therapist will then compile a report summarising the findings and recommendations, which will be forwarded to the referring medical professional.
