When is a driving competence check useful?

A driving competence check can be helpful in these situations

There are situations in which a voluntary assessment of your own driving experience can be helpful – for yourself or to reassure family members. This is particularly useful after a long break from driving, if you are unsure about driving or if your health has changed.

After health or neurological changes

For example, after a stroke or other health changes, if you would like to have your current driving experience better assessed.

If you feel insecure

Perhaps you find some traffic situations more difficult than before. If so, a neutral driving check can help you regain clarity.

After a long break from driving

People who have not ridden for a long time often lose their routine. An accompanied ride makes getting back on the bike much easier.
