Driver Rehab Hawaii provides Professional Driver Assessment services.
We all want to be safe drivers as long as possible. The best way to ensure we are safe is to get a professional driving assessment. An assessment can recognize possible shortcomings, allowing a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist to develop a customized drivers’ training plan to provide maximum safety and independence while driving.
Consider getting a Professional Driver Assessment if:
-
You are concerned that your driving skills may have diminished over time.
-
You have concerns regarding results of informal self-assessments, such as the American Automobile Association's Drivers 65 Plus program.
-
You have been diagnosed with a medical condition known to impact driving ability (e.g., impaired vision, dementia, diabetes, seizures, sleep disorders, stroke, heart conditions).
-
You have experienced a recent increase in near misses or minor crashes.
-
Friends and/or family have suggested that you should drive less or not at all.
