Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pass/fail rate of on-road occupational therapy driving assessment.[5 weeks post-baseline.];Number of on-road driving lessons required (if initial driving assessment failed). This will be assessed by review of occupational therapy records.[This outcome will be assessed upon re-sitting the driving test and passing.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Driver confidence, assessed using the Day Driving Comfort Scale (Myers, Paradis & Blanchard, 2008). This is a 13 item, 5 point likert scale.[Pre- and post- on-road assessment<br>AND<br>Pre- and post- on-road driving lessons];Driver self-awareness, assessed using the Brain Injury Driver Self-Awareness Measure (Gooden et al., 2016). This is a 28 item measure designed to assess awareness of on-road driving performance in adults undergoing a standardised on-road driving assessment following brain injury.
