Brain Injury & Driving Safety
Overview
Following a brain injury — from trauma, stroke, or surgery — the ability to drive may be impaired even if outward recovery seems complete.
Cognitive, visual, and motor skills can be affected, and the RSA requires a medical report confirming recovery before returning to driving. DAI provides detailed, RSA-compliant driving assessments that examine practical fitness to drive.
Our evaluations help determine whether a person is ready to return to the road, if retraining is needed, or if adaptations can support continued safe driving.
