Congenital conditions, including spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and limb differences, can affect driving ability in different ways depending on the individual and the specific challenges involved. The impact on mobility, coordination, vision, or cognitive function can vary considerably from person to person.

The RSA advises that these situations should be assessed individually to determine whether any driving restrictions, vehicle adaptations, or specialised training may be required.

At Atlantic Driving Assessments, we work with drivers from a wide range of age groups and backgrounds to assess functional driving ability in practical settings. We can also provide guidance on adaptive equipment and support strategies that help individuals maintain independence while meeting medical fitness-to-drive requirements.
