Herts Ability - Health and wellbeing

Herts Ability is a charity based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and offers various vehicle-related assessments.

For those with a medical condition, we are able to assess physical and cognitive ability which can indicate if a medical condition is impacting on their ability to drive safely and if any adaptations are appropriate.

Who do we offer advice and assessment to?

People with a medical condition that may impact their ability to make appropriate decisions with regards to safe driving
Those with a disability who think they may need special modifications to a motor vehicle in order to be able to control it safely
Experienced, older drivers who may have concerns about their standard of driving
Parents/Carers who need to transport people, with restricted mobility in a motor vehicle
People considering a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV)
People who wish to begin, or return to driving following an illness, injury or accident
Patients who are recovering from an accident or injury which may temporarily affect their ability to drive or transfer to a vehicle

For people needing to travel without a car, our Hubs Mobility Advice Service offers a wealth of FREE impartial advice on:

Accessible buses and coaches
Accessing rail and air travel
Community transport
Rights as a disabled passenger
Hiring or purchasing the right mobility scooters and wheelchairs
Local, national and international travel planning
