Do I need an assessment?
If you cannot decide what adaptations
you need, if any, or what vehicle is suitable for your requirements, then clearly
you need advice. If your disability is such that you cannot just visit a car
showroom and take a test drive, an assessment is really necessary if you are
to avoid what could be a disastrous choice. If you do not know if you will be
able to drive or not, then an assessment will help you to find out. In short,
if you have doubts about something, a Driving Assessment can help you.
Driver Assessment can be particularly helpful in deciding future mobility needs for those who have become disabled as a result of an accident or injury at work. Reports can be specially tailored for use as evidence during claims.
Can everyone
who goes for an Assessment drive a vehicle?
Whenever possible a vehicle will
be available to drive at your assessment. Approximately 95% do so. For
some it will only be possible using high-tech individually tailored adaptations.
For just a few, regrettably, it may prove that driving a vehicle is inadvisable
or impossible.
What happens
afterwards?
Following your visit a full report
is compiled with adaptation requirements and further tuition or roadcraft support
where required. Reports of this type can be used in conjunction with having
your vehicle adapted, securing financial assistance from grant making trusts
and organizations such as Motability.
