A driving evaluation is an evaluation of an individual’s driving and it includes 3 main steps.

Step 1: review of clinical testing of sensation, vision, movement, & thinking.

Step 2: a behind-the-wheel assessment in a driving rehab vehicle.

Step 3: Discussion of outcomes.

All steps take around 3 hours.

Step 2 of the driving evaluation takes place in our driving rehab car. We use our car because it has special equipment for added safety.

Don’t worry! We appreciate that driving someone else’s car requires adjustment. Therefore, the first thing we will do is give you time to get use to our car. Then, once you are ready, the evaluation will begin.

During step 3 of the driving evaluation, we will talk to you and your family member about your outcome. Your DRS will talk about patterns of safety or concern with driving. Outcomes may include return or continue driving, additional driving training, hold on driving with plans for re-evaluation, or driving retirement.
