Who can have an assessment?
Anyone can come for an assessment, but most clients are referred to us. We carry out assessments for the NHS, DVLA, Access To Work, Motability, solicitors and insurance companies.
How long does it take?
The time will vary depending on the nature of the assessment but be prepared to spend up to two hours for a full driver assessment.
How much does it cost?
In the event of a cancellation the fee will be refunded in full, provided that seven days notice is given, or medical evidence of inability to attend is produced.
Do I need to prepare anything before I come for the assessment?
It will be necessary for you to demonstrate this at the beginning of your driving assessment. If you cannot do this it will mean that the assessment cannot go ahead, so it is best that you check you can meet these requirements prior to attending.
What do I need to bring?
- Please bring your valid driving licence, if you have one.
- National insurance number
- Spectacles (driving and reading if appropriate).
- If you normally use mobility equipment such as a wheelchair or splints please bring these with you.
What happens on the day?
For a driving assessment you are likely to see an Approved Driving Instructor and an Occupational Therapist. For your adaptations assessment we have an off road training area. Depending on your assessment requirements and the status of your licence, you may drive on the public highway. We have a range of vehicles, both manual and automatic transmission; all are fitted with a dual brake for safety.
