 Testing Centers
When changes that come with aging occur, a person's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle may be affected. There are a number of centers around the state that provide Comprehensive Driver Assessments to evaluate an individual's driving ability and safety.
Following an evaluation, therapeutic intervention to improve driving skills may be recommended and provided. Adaptive driving equipment may also be recommended to improve or maintain driving capabilities. A helpful guide from The Hartford Your Road Ahead A Guide to Comprehensive Driving Evaluations explains the process further.
