What is a driving assessment? Does your mind conjure up memories of your driving test? Do you see a 17-year-old version of yourself panicking and sweating?

Well, the second part of our podcast series on driving and multiple sclerosis covers everything that you need to know.

Occupational therapist, Wendy Valentine and driving assessor, James Hinkins take us through the roadmap on driving assessments, car adaptions, the DVLA and more!

We find out how the assessors are there to promote your independence and keep you on the road for as long as they can.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out part one where we heard all about the Motability Scheme and MS.

If you’ve ever felt worried about driving and MS, this is the podcast for you. Start your engines and join us as we motor through all the latest tips and information on driving and MS.
