To take the Driving Check, sign in first.
This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.
The Driving Check is a set of questions about your own driving: what you notice, what you avoid, what has changed. It is roughly ten questions and takes about five minutes.
Where to find it
Open My Health and choose the Driving Check.
What it is not, first
This is the part to get straight before anything else, because it is the thing people are actually worried about when they open this page.
The app states it plainly on the way in, and it is worth quoting exactly:
The driving self-assessment is not a clinical evaluation and does not constitute a medical determination of fitness to drive. Please consult your physician for clinical guidance.
It has no connection to your licence, your insurer or your state's licensing authority. Nobody is notified. Answering these questions cannot cost you your keys.
It is also not built on a published clinical framework, unlike the Daily Living Skills, Life Skills and Mobility Checks. This one is SeniorThrive's own set of questions, and the results say as much: these informal checks are not a medical test. We would rather tell you that than dress it up as something it is not.
Your answers stay private
The screen says so before you begin, and it means it. Nobody in your Circle sees this because you answered it. What you do with the result afterwards is entirely your decision.
That privacy is deliberate, and it is the only way the check is worth anything. A question you answer carefully because nobody is looking is useful. A question you answer defensively because you think somebody is watching tells you nothing.
Answering
Answer for how driving has felt lately. Recent journeys are the ones that make this worth doing.
The questions ask about ordinary things: night driving, busy junctions, glare, whether you have started avoiding certain roads or times of day, near misses. Quietly avoiding something is a real answer and worth recording. Most people do it long before they mention it to anyone.
Your results
You get a summary with an Areas to focus on section.
Read it as prompts, not as a verdict. If glare comes up, that may be a windscreen, a pair of glasses or a cataract, and only one of those is about driving at all. If junctions come up, it may be neck movement rather than judgement. Most of what surfaces here has a practical cause worth chasing down.
What to do with it
Take it to your doctor, especially if vision, medication, joints or memory could be part of it. Several of the common causes are treatable, and finding a treatable one is the best outcome this check can give you.
For a real assessment of driving ability, ask about a driver rehabilitation specialist, usually an occupational therapist with specific training. That is an actual evaluation of driving, which this is not.
If you are reading this on someone else's behalf
You cannot see their answers. They are private, and there is no setting that changes that.
If you are worried about someone's driving, the conversation is still yours to have, and the honest version works better than an ambush. This check is something they can run privately, in their own time, and arrive at themselves. That is usually a better road in than a confrontation over the keys.
