Self-assessments and personal checklists
Understand your habits. Explore your needs. Find a practical next step.
Sometimes a few thoughtful questions can help you notice something worth your attention. Explore tools for safer driving, recovery after a road incident, and support for everyday life.
Choose the resource that feels most relevant to you. Some open an interactive questionnaire. Others take you to a guide containing a checklist, rating exercise, or reflection questions. You do not need to complete everything.
Please use these resources only when you are safely parked or away from driving.
Explore your driving habits
Look at the everyday choices, distractions, and pressures that can influence how you share the road.
Find my pressure point
How do frustration, time pressure, or other people affect your decisions behind the wheel? Explore familiar situations to recognize when emotions or impulses may influence your driving.
What competes for my attention on the road?
Messages, music, navigation, passengers, and small tasks can all pull attention away from driving. Reflect on the distractions you find hardest to resist and habits you could change.
Check my habits before driving
The choices you make before moving matter. Review your approach to seat belts, passenger safety, vehicle warnings, unfamiliar controls, and safety technology.
How sharp is my hazard perception?
Reflect on how consistently you scan ahead, notice developing hazards, and leave yourself room to respond. This scored exercise can help you choose habits to practice more deliberately.
Consider health changes that may affect driving
Changes in vision, movement, attention, or medicines may raise questions about driving. These checklists can help you organize concerns to discuss with a qualified professional.
Review driving changes as you get older
Reflect on vision, movement, medicines, and situations that have become harder to manage. This checklist can help you prepare for a conversation with your healthcare professional or someone who regularly rides with you.
Recognize when to ask about a driving evaluation
Review warning signs such as getting lost, unexplained vehicle damage, difficulty using the controls, or concerns from passengers. Use what you notice to prepare questions about a professional driving evaluation.
Review medicine concerns before driving
A new medicine, a changed dose, or a combination of products can raise questions about driving. Use the medication checklist to identify concerns to discuss with your prescriber or pharmacist.
Additional materials
Review your financial preparedness
Understanding a possible coverage gap can help you prepare questions before an unexpected loss.
Could a totaled car leave me owing money? Compare your vehicle’s estimated value with your loan payoff and deductible. This exercise can help you understand a possible shortfall and prepare questions about GAP coverage.
Make what you notice useful
You do not have to address everything at once. Choose one practical next step. That might mean changing a driving habit, asking someone for help, or writing down a concern for your next appointment.
If a tool includes a score, use it as a starting point for reflection. A score cannot establish your driving ability, diagnose a condition, or determine what care you need.
