🚘 Driving Evaluations for At-Risk or Elderly Drivers

🧠 What is the DriveABLE On-Road Evaluation (DORE)?

The DriveABLE On-Road Evaluation (DORE) is a scientifically validated driving assessment designed to evaluate cognitive fitness for driving, especially for at-risk or elderly drivers.

Unlike standard road tests, the DORE does not penalize common driving habits — it is focused exclusively on detecting cognitive decline that affects driving safety.

“When Northwest Neurology’s medical team needed a more objective and scientific way to assess patients’ fitness to drive, DriveABLE delivered. We’ve tested over a thousand people. I fell in love with DriveABLE.”

— Dr. Robert Bashuk, Neurology Specialist

🔬 How the DORE Works

  • The DORE compares real-world driving behavior between:
  • Cognitively healthy drivers, and
  • Drivers with signs of cognitive impairment
  • Conducted on a standardized road course by certified evaluators.
  • The scoring system:
  • Excludes typical “bad habit” errors of healthy drivers.
  • Highlights specific patterns linked to cognitive decline.

✅ Scientifically based
✅ Validated by neurologists and healthcare professionals
✅ Protects competent drivers from being unfairly assessed
