Cornwall Mobility

Do you have a disability or mobility challenge?  Would you like to learn to drive or return to driving following an accident or illness?  Our team of specialist driving assessors are here to help you.

We can assess your needs and teach you to drive in our specially adapted cars. We can also help you with the theory and hazard perception tests.

Our Instructors are all very friendly, patient and experienced Approved Driving Instructors who have specialist teaching skills and knowledge of medical conditions and mobility challenges.

If you live too far away for us to be able to help you, we can put you in touch with a Driving Instructor closer to your home address.  We work with a broad network of Approved Driving Instructors from across the South West. These Instructors are chosen because of their knowledge and experience of teaching people to drive who have medical conditions, mobility challenges or who require adapted driving controls.
