Abstract: Through norms, concessions, assessment and training, the article shows the importance of the rehabilitation approach to identify the ways in which to help the disabled person achieve his driving licence and, therefore drive a vehicle. It shows the number of variants that exist for each system allowing the adaptation of various automobile functions to the needs of disabled people and in this way we can understand how even seriously disabled people with very complex situations can drive when the correct adaptations are identified.

Key words: disability, driving licence, driving technology, Italian law
