02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
DriveAbility Scotland provides medical fitness to drive assessments on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), supporting decision-making related to driver licensing. The service also assists Motability customers who require guidance on driving and vehicle adaptations. Additionally, a number of individuals choose to self-refer to DAS, particularly where NHS-provided assessments are unavailable or where significant travel would otherwise be required to access that service. In addition to driver assessments, DAS offers a range of complementary services, including passenger access assessments, vehicle seating solutions, and bespoke driving tuition. The organisation also provides information and advice on mobility and disability-related matters through telephone and email support, ensuring a holistic approach to promoting independent mobility for disabled and older people across Scotland.
