Driving Evaluations

The Virginia Driving Safety Laboratory helps drivers, families, and doctors make informed decisions about whether someone should drive. An evaluation should include: Completing a driving history questionnaire at home, a 75-90 minute session at the Virginia Driving Safety Laboratory, broken into 10 separate tests consisting of; Instruction period, Practice round to demonstrate understanding, Resolution of any questions or concerns with what to do during the test,  and Test rounds.   A written summary of your results, mailed or faxed after your visit and your objective scores have been compiled.

You will drive a simulator that measures your ability to steer, control your speed, and negotiate obstacles in the road.  While the driving simulator is not a real car, it requires similar skills and provides important information about driving strengths and weaknesses.
