Jules Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 My goodness what a shock in my post tonight. I was lucky enough to get a medical driving license about 4 months after my Sah which was valid for 3 years. I went through all the paperwork to renew for the end of March and have now been told I need to go through a full mobility and driving assessment . I am a bit nervous and was just wondering if anyone has any advice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Mario Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Jules, as Win said someone on the forum may be able to help you but in case they can't pose your question on this forum http://www.youreable.com/forums/forum.php There are people on there who have had these driving assessments who should be able to help. There is a motoring forum on there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thank you so much Win and Super Mario. I rang today and booked it for next Saturday at the disability mobility centre so will let you know how I get on. They were able to tell me it covers medical history, visual tests, a simulator and an on road driving assessment. I am going to try it in a manual car ( I usually drive an automatic) as otherwise they will add that as a restriction . I am going to ask for a map of the route so I know where I am driving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpaggett Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I took this test voluntarily as they didn't take my license away even though I couldn't walk or focus or anything afterwards...Go USA! Anyway, it just helps them and you determine if you are in fact safe to drive. I wasn't sure since I felt drunk 24/7 even though I never touched a drop of alcohol. I passed the simulator stuff and then they took me on the road and I had a 'no interstate' restriction recommended for a bit because the merging traffic was hard for me a such high speeds. Now, I am fine, but I never had another test. Just take it easy and slow. I had some weird computer stuff like mostly yellow dots flashing, but I had to identify where the one blue dot was...attention testing, etc. Let us know how it turns out. ~Kris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thank you for all your support . I passed thank goodness and will get another medical license which can be up to 3 years. The guy at the disability centre was lovely and advised it was because of my memory and concentration issues. It is such a relief xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
