Summary of services
Driving Ability Assessment: if people have had a full licence, this assessment looks at both their ability to control the vehicle and to deal with traffic and other road users. This is ideal for who are still able to access a car seat unaided that may or may not require adaptations to their car. They may have had a head injury, stroke or other medical condition, or just need to know that they still have the ability to drive safely.
