PRACDRIVA (Practical Clinical Driver Assessment) is an international resource providing Guidelines to support practitioners in the driver assessment of people with a disability or health condition. The resource is aimed at:
PRACDRIVA is the result of partnership working between Driving Mobility and CIECA during the period 2017 -2020 involving subject matter experts who were interested in developing an international approach to clinical driver assessment.
PRACDRIVA aims to provide practical and realistic online guidance about medical fitness to drive assessment for authorities, organisations and individual clinicians and practitioners.
In this section we introduce the Guidelines forming the framework for
the ideal driver assessment, providing an insight as to how these were formed. Each Guideline is then presented individually.
The Guidelines are a result of the collaborative work of members of the Fit to Drive Topical Group, Subgroup 1: Setting Standards for Disabled Driver Assessment (January 2021). Subgroup 1’s membership included a range of professionals involved in the developing field of driver assessment in relation to medical fitness to drive.
“Driver assessment is a multi-disciplinary clinical process to create an opinion on fitness to drive (FTD) referring to the EU Driving Licence Directive. A clinical process determines functional consequences of medical challenges in terms of physical, (neuro) psychological, behavioural and attitudinal aspects.“
The intention of this document is to offer a best practice guide to the high-level requirements in the context of a fitness to drive assessment. However, it is accepted that different countries will be working within their own legal framework and regulations.
This section provides information for the assessor on the clinical aspects of specific medical conditions and disabilities. Requirements of the specific condition should be taken into consideration when referring to the Guidelines for the ideal driver assessment.
