Driving

• Many people return to driving after stroke
  
• Discuss this with your doctor
  
• Tell your insurance company that you had a stroke
  
• Tell the licensing authority that you had a stroke
  
• Certain things stop you driving after stroke e.g. seizures, problems with your eyes, problems with your thinking and memory
  
• You might have to do an assessment of your driving
  
• This assessment will decide if it is safe for you to drive
  
• This assessment will tell you if you need to make changes to your car
