Driving Assessment

Overview What to Expect Our Expertise & Doctors

What is a driving assessment?

A driving assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to determine a patient's ability to drive safely after the onset of a medical condition. This assessment is vital to assess an individual's capacity to operate vehicles without posing a risk to themselves or others.

At Parkway Rehab, our experienced rehabilitation therapists conduct this assessment, referencing the Medical Guidelines on Fitness to Drive by the Singapore Medical Association (2011), and the regulations set out by the Traffic Police under the Road Traffic Act in Singapore.
