A return to driving after illness or injury should begin with the right medical and licensing advice, not with a lesson booking. Once you know you are permitted and fit to drive, practical support can help you regain confidence.
1
Check the legal position first
Use current GOV.UK and DVLA medical-driving guidance and follow advice from your healthcare professional.
2
Do not self-assess entitlement
Feeling well enough to drive does not necessarily mean the legal requirements are met.
3
Refresher tuition comes later
Once you are legally entitled and medically fit to drive, refresher lessons can help rebuild practical confidence.
