Returning to driving after a stroke or major injury

Returning to driving after a significant medical event is not simply a confidence decision. Medical and licensing requirements can apply, so use official guidance before arranging refresher driving.

1

Check the legal position first

Use current GOV.UK and DVLA medical-driving guidance and follow advice from your healthcare professional.

2

Do not self-assess entitlement

Feeling well enough to drive does not necessarily mean the legal requirements are met.

3

Refresher tuition comes later

Once you are legally entitled and medically fit to drive, refresher lessons can help rebuild practical confidence.

This article is general information, not medical or licensing advice. Check current GOV.UK/DVLA guidance and follow advice from your healthcare professional before driving.
