Driving after a Stroke


I am still not driving and still do not feel as though I am ready or confident to drive even after four years.

It can be extremely frustrating having to rely on others to take me to places that public transport cannot.


After having a stroke, you may be eager to get back in the driving seat. The factsheet explains how stroke and transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) can affect your ability to drive and the procedures that you should follow if you want to drive again. It also lists organisations that can provide further advice and information.

 Follow this link to a fact sheet by the Stroke Association about driving after a Stroke:
