Fitness to drive after acquired brain injury or disease is a common question in rehabilitation settings. The aim of the study was to compare age‐matched norms with patient cognitive test results used to predict fitness to drive. A second aim was to analyze the contribution from an on‐road assessment to a final decision on resumption of driving after an acquired brain injury. Retrospective cognitive test results from four traffic medicine units ( n = 333) were compared with results from a healthy norm population ( n = 410) in Sweden. Patients were dichotomized according to the final decision as fit or unfit to drive made by the traffic medicine team. The norm group had significantly better results in all age groups for all cognitive tests compared with the patients considered unfit to drive and fit to drive. A binary regression analysis for the patient group showed an explained value for fit to drive/unfit to drive of 88%, including results for the Nordic Stroke Driver Screening Assessment total score, Useful Field of View total score and the final outcome from an on‐road assessment. Results from the present study illustrate the importance of using several tests, methods and contexts for the final decision regarding fitness to drive
