Licence & Insurance Requirements
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) guidelines do not allow a person to drive independently with a modified driving control without having completed an RTA Disability Driving Test or alternatively having completed an occupational therapy on road assessment to establish their safety. The modified driving control is then endorsed on the drivers licence. Once the modified driving control is not required the person would need to demonstrate to the RTA that they could drive safely without it, before the endorsement could be removed from their licence. This is done by being retested by a driver trained occupational therapist (see Driving Assessment & Education minor group on this database).
