Driving With Parkinson’s National Survey

During national consultations undertaken for the Young Onset Parkinson’s Exchange (YOP-X), driving experiences were highlighted as an area to consider for further investigation. Current information on driving with Parkinson’s in Australia and internationally can assume that Parkinson's is a condition for older people for whom driving may not longer be a priority. Members of the Young Onset Parkinson’s Working Group have developed a list of topic areas around driving safely and maintaining independence, and additional information collected through this short survey will form the basis of a new driving resource for people with Parkinson’s.

1. How old are you?*

2. What is your gender?*

3. How old were you when you were diagnosed with Parkinson’s?*

4. Are you still driving?*

5. If you are NO LONGER DRIVING why did you stop?

6. If you ARE STILL DRIVING is your ability to drive being affected by any issues in particular?

7. Would you have any advice for people with Parkinson's to assist them with their driving?*

8. Would anything have assisted or has assisted you to keep driving longer?*

9. Have you ever discussed your driving ability with your Neurologist or GP?*

10. Would you like to add anything else?*
