The use of a simple, computerised presentation allows for a high degree of accuracy and objectivity in performance measures.Part 2.DriveABLE On Road Evaluation (DORE)The standardized road course and performance evaluation criteria were developed through extensive research and designed to reveal the significant driving problems of the medically compromised driver.* Driving performance is age normed against healthy competent drivers. Only those drivers whose performance is outside of the range of normal and demonstrating errors that are known to be related to competence decline are identified as being unsafe.* The DriveABLE on road evaluation has been demonstrated equally fair to urban and rural drivers.* Healthy competent drivers are protected from misidentification as only errors of declining competence are scored.Please click on the above weblink to go through to our website.Based in Mt Albert, we at Anne Molloy (NZROT) Occupational Therapy Consultancy will assist you with identifying, removing or reducing the barriers that affect your ability to safely achieve independence at home, on the road, or at work!We will do everything we can to assist you to identify and achieve your realistic goals.
