title: Driving after severe head injury: the need for assessment.
abstract: This paper reports on a survey of return to driving after severe head injury. It highlights the lack of information provision, low rates of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) notification, and poor uptake of driving assessments. The findings highlight the need for liaison between head injury services and general practitioners (GPs) when assessing driving fitness.
