Useful Links & Advice

Driving Assessments

If you’re new to driving with adaptations or your needs have changed, we recommend having a driving assessment to determine potential solutions.

To find more information and/or details of your nearest centre, please visit the Driving Mobility website.

Driving Lessons

If you need to learn to drive in an adapted vehicle, or even just need some familiarisation lessons in driving with adaptations, please visit the Disability Driving Instructors website to find details of your nearest specialist driving instructor.

Funding for adaptations and lessons – if you’re eligible for the Motability Scheme, please visit Scheme-Related Grant Programmes | Charitable Grants | Motability Foundation
