DriveABLE

Evaluating the Medically At Risk Driver

Objective Assessment of Driving Competence

  • The DriveABLE evaluation has two components: a  Driving Competence Screen  and a Road Evaluation.

  • Effectiveness proven through the validated research testing of hundreds of patients.

  • DriveABLE evaluations are approved by Driver Records, Alberta Registries.

  • Until now, clinicians have had little choice, but make decisions based on best judgement or educationed opioion.

  • Physicians value the scientific basis of the DriveABLE evaluation and appreciate the arms-length advantage for preserving the physician-patient relationship.

  • Procedures reveal and identify driving errors documented to signal unsafe declines in driving competence - Competent drivers pass the evaluation.

The Driving Competence Screening is administered in our office and takes about an hour.  Administered by professional personnel, it consists of a set of tests assessing memory, judgement, decision making, attention and motor abilities.  The client responds by touching areas on a screen or by pressing a button.

The Road Evaluation consists of a standardized drive in a residential and light business traffic.  The evaluation vehicle is an automatic mid-sized car equipped with a dual brake.  Opportunity to become familiar with the vehicle is given.  Our testing procedures identify and highly weigh driving errors associated with declining competence to drive.  No penalties are given for errors characteristic of normal, healthy drivers.

  • The assessment is not covered by Alberta Health Care.  The cost of the assessment is $214.00 plus GST.

  • For further information on the assessment or for referrals, please call 403-528-4860 and ask for Anne or fax 403-527-7414.

You will receive a 6 page report listing all the names that are identical or somewhat similiar to the one you requested and have been registered with Alberta Registries. This will include incorporated companies, tradenames, partnerships, trademarks. Once you have run the report the system will hold this name for you for 90 days.
