How an adaptations review can help you

Adaptations can help you stay mobile and get the most from your vehicle.

What to expect at an adaptations review

See what a review involves and what your reviewer might ask you. They're there to help you feel comfortable about adaptations.

A person being taken through an adaptation review

If you need adaptations to help you drive we recommend you have a review first, before you do anything else. We can arrange one for you at a local Driving Mobility centre(opens in a new window). You might hear this called an 'assessment' too.

Your reviewer will give you:

  • Support and advice about adaptations
  • Recommendations about which adaptations suit you

Once they complete your review they might also suggest you have some extra familiarisation lessons. These are so you can get used to your adaptations once you’ve had them fitted.

Remember, your review is not a driving test. It’s to help you decide which adaptations are right for you and to make sure you're comfortable using them. It also helps make sure everyone's using adaptations safely. Learn more about adaptations.

You'll need to wait six-to-eight weeks for an appointment. If you live in a remote area, this could take longer.

 

If you live in Scotland and you cannot get to Glasgow, please contact your GP. They can arrange a review at a SMART centre.
