ASSESSING FITNESS TO DRIVE

The On Road Assessment is NOT a driving test of the type required to sit or
retain a Driver’s Licence.
The assessment focus is on a range of behaviours which can be associated with
cognitive function.
These include
• The ability to apply priority rules
•The ability to make a decision in a reasonable time acting appropriately
•Observe and recognise signs (includes knowing you are at a give way or stop sign).
•Reacting in time to hazards, i.e. late braking for other vehicles, intersections, bends in
the road, pedestrians, including inappropriate stopping for empty pedestrian crossings
and intersections
•Selecting correct lanes
•The ability to self navigate from point to point selecting an appropriate route
