Driving Assessment & Post-Assessment Support
Getting back to driving after illness or an accident can be a daunting process. You may have been asked by the DVSA to take a driving assessment or you may want to look at your options to get you back behind the wheel.
I work closely with our local assessment centre East Anglian Driveability based in Thetford and I can support you through the assessment process, and if appropriate provide pre-assessment training.
After an assessment, lessons may be recommended to help you drive with any adaptions that have been advised, or you may need help to get you back to a safe driving standard. I am experienced at supporting students through this process, working with a range needs and adaptions. I have both manual and automatic dual controlled cars to provide lessons as you get back on the road, and once confidence has been built up, I am happy to support you in getting used to your car.
Each student’s needs are different, so I work with the individual to understand how their condition affects them, how pain and tiredness can be an added complication and how best to support them in achieving their goals. I have worked with students with a wide range of physical disabilities and/or restrictions, including:
- Amputation
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Stroke
- Chronic Pain
- Surgical Complications
- Mobility Issues
Access Driving provides:
- A safe and non-judgmental environment to learn and gain confidence.
- Specialist driving lessons, with understanding of the student’s needs, to help them learn how to get back behind the wheel, be a safe driver and provide support preparing for a driving assessment if required.
- A bespoke service capable of working with the student’s support network if desired.
- Manual and automatic dual controlled cars, the automatic is adapted with the most common adaptations.
- Tailored post-test help and support, if needed, to get you driving confidently in your own car.
