Medically At Risk Drivers

Are physical changes affecting your ability to drive? While everyone wants to keep driving for as long as possible, no one wants to be a threat to themselves or to others because they are no longer able to drive safely.

In an effort to assist individuals, family members, and healthcare providers in evaluating driving ability, Oregon Driver Education Center, Inc. offers driver training and assessment. This service includes an in-car appraisal with a state certified instructor. This may be supplemented by simulator training. We offer a thorough, written report of performance in a variety of driving environments.
