Driving Behaviour Observation

If there is any doubt about the driver's fitness to drive, the authorities will order an MPU at an independent assessment centre.
The medical-psychological examination (MPU) then clarifies whether or not there is a risk of repetition. The purpose of the examination is to dispel any doubts about your fitness to drive.

When is a driving behaviour observation required?

If physical or mental performance deficits are determined during the MPU, you can prove through a driving behaviour observation that you are nevertheless able to compensate for these deficits in road traffic and are therefore able to drive a motor vehicle safely.
A driving behaviour observation can also be arranged by the driving licence authority.
In both cases, DriveX is the right partner at your side.
