If someone with dementia wants to be tested for driving safety, where do they go? If I take a test, will the results be reported to driver licensing authorities?
If someone wants to be tested to determine whether they are still safe to drive, they can seek local resources such as rehabilitation programs, hospitals, AAA or motor vehicle departments. Asking your doctor for a referral is often helpful. Although it is unlikely that results would be reported to licensing authorities, it would be important to ask the person conducting the test. It is important to remember that a person with Alzheimer’s Disease has a progressive disease. That means they may pass a safety test only to begin to have problems several months later. Re-testing may be necessary.
