The driving evaluation consists of two parts, a clinical and an on-road evaluation, that normally occur on two separate days.

The clinical evaluation takes approximately 90 minutes and occurs in my office.

The on-road driving evaluation occurs in an evaluation vehicle and takes approximately 2 hours, which includes time for orientation to the vehicle and a discussion of the results afterwards.
