Medical Condition, Medication Use and Licensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Medical condition can negatively effect the capacity to drive safely (1). Thus, in the EU (2) North America (1) and Australia (3), the licensing authorities have imposed certain restrictions or conditions to the concession of driving licenses to persons with particular medical conditions; that is, they are permitted to drive in certain circumstances. In some cases, the conditions or restrictions affect the driving license (licensing restriction, such as a review after a stipulated period of time). Other cases limit driving (driving restriction, hours permitted to drive, maximum speed, etc). Or both, licensing and driving restriction.
