Before choosing an adaptation we very much recommend you seek advice from a Mobility Assessment Centre about which particular adaptations are right for you. Nationally there are 17 Mobility Assessment Centres, and although you may need to pay a small fee, the expert advice of fully trained occupational therapists and a technical adaptation specialist will be invaluable in ensuring you are able to drive safely and comfortably. The Mobility Assessment Centre will assess your mobility needs, whether you are the driver, or passenger, and offer advice on:
- The most suitable vehicle for your needs
- Driving aids and adaptations that may assist
- Getting in and out of a vehicle safely
- Loading and stowage of equipment
For details of your local assessment centre, contact the Forum of Mobility Centres on 0800 599 3636 or visit the
