Certain mental health conditions may influence a person’s ability to drive safely by affecting areas such as attention, insight, decision-making, emotional regulation, and the ability to respond effectively to changing situations on the road. Symptoms may also fluctuate depending on treatment, medication adjustments, or changes in overall wellbeing.

In line with RSA medical fitness standards, a return to driving may only be appropriate once a condition is considered stable and any potential impact on driving ability has been appropriately reviewed.

Atlantic Driving Assessments provides comprehensive independent driving evaluations to determine how a person’s current mental and cognitive functioning may affect their driving performance in real-world situations.

Our detailed assessment reports provide objective information to support medical professionals and assist in making safe, informed decisions regarding driving suitability and ongoing licence requirements.
