What Happens During an Older Driver Assessment?
Your assessment begins with a 30-minute warm-up drive, giving you time to become comfortable with the vehicle, traffic conditions and local roads.
After the warm-up, your practical driving assessment will begin.
During the assessment, your driving assessor will observe how safely you manage everyday driving situations, including intersections, roundabouts, traffic lights, lane changes, pedestrian crossings and different speed zones.
The aim is to assess your ability to drive safely and independently on public roads.
